Chapel of Saint Brigida

Highlight • Religious Site

A very simple chapel, which despite dating back to the 17th century has a very modern look, with stone tile cladding in the lower section. It was probably restored for practical use, not for its "historic" purpose. And that's fine. The fresco of Saint Bridget above the entrance door is beautiful.

Mompellato Washhouse with Washerwomen Mural

Highlight • Monument

The hamlet of Mompellato, on the road to Col del Lys, is a very interesting place to visit. Among its points of interest are its beautiful fountains. In particular, a washhouse has a trompe-l'oeil painting on the wall depicting washerwomen at work on the opposite side of the washhouse. Very impressive. Other fountains are simpler, but no less fascinating. Visiting Mompellato is not a waste of time.

Church of San Grato, Mompellato

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally a 17th-century church, it was renovated in the 19th century when it was promoted to parish status. A simple structure, with an elliptical rose window partially covered by the portico protecting the entrance, and a bell tower with an extremely linear clock, all plastered in white. A tribute to practicality. On the wall of one of the nearby houses are two plaques commemorating the fallen of the two world wars, and a 19th-century sundial, unfortunately missing its gnomon, which it would be nice to see restored. It is located at the end of the beautiful hamlet of Mompellato. Visiting it can also be an excuse to visit the hamlet, which is well worth it.

Lys Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Lys pass is a pass that is part of the Graian Alps. Located at 1,311 meters above sea level, the Lys hill connects the Susa valley with the Viù valley. The view from the summit is spectacular. Furthermore, at the pass you can find a bar and a refuge where you can refresh yourself. The Lys hill was the scene of a bloody battle in July 1944: 26 partisans were massacred by Nazi troops. The tower at the pass recalls the sacrifice of the young partisans.

Mompellato Fountain and Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Just below the road, a beautiful fountain with drinkable water, reached by a short flight of steps. Near the fountain, a stone bench. The whole thing is nestled in a dense forest, which provides shade and coolness in the summer. It's a good place for a break. A little further on, the village of Mompellato offers several points of interest.
