At the beginning of Val Marcia in 1656, crosses were erected to keep witches and the evil eye away, who came out of Val Marcia bringing bad luck and damage to the village and the countryside.

A hike that does not present particular difficulties and is also suitable for trained young people and elderly people. The route reaches 1580 m altitude with some really steep trail sections. Val Marcia, located south of Bleggio and enclosed between Monte Altissimo and Monte Cogorna, is traversed by the Duina stream and its small tributaries. A wild valley presenting an unspoiled environment rich in many beauties.
