This summit cross, located just below the actual peak of Monte Rusiana, offers a breathtaking view of the Val d'Ansiei below and the surrounding peaks.
From the crucifix commemorating Pope John Paul II’s visit, a trail through the trees—a short but steep descent—leads to a picturesque panoramic terrace, where a wooden summit cross stands.

From here, the view stretches from the Marmarole range (Croda Baion, Cima dei Camosci, and Croda Alta di Somprade) to the Sorapis range, all the way to the Cadini di Misurina and the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo. In the distance, you can see the Tofana di Rozes, while down in the valley you can admire the Bombassei Farm, the village of “Palus San Marco,” and the Somadida Forest, which was unfortunately devastated by a bark beetle (Ips typographus) infestation following Storm Vaia in 2018.
