**Please note:****The cable car from Monte Moro Pass to Alpe Bill will remain closed this summer season.** **At Monte Moro Pass, the CAI ‘Oberto Maroli’ hut is open as usual.** The path starts on the dam crest heading south and runs on the right side of the lake (in walking direction) to the Dischtelalp, the end of the reservoir. From Dischtelalp, the historic path leads up to the Monte Moro Pass. From afar, the gleam of the impressive, gilded Madonna statue on the pass is noticeable. After Tälliboden, the somewhat tricky path climbs the rocks via the restored original Walser path. After the rock steps and shortly before the pass summit, you reach a hollow often covered by firn snow. This is crossed on the right and leads into the rocky terrain. The pass, boasting a breathtaking view of the majestic east face of Monte Rosa, is reached. On a prominent rock sits the golden Maria statue. Slightly below the pass is the G. Oberto hut and the station of the cable cars to Macugnaga.
