The frescos in the chancel
The oratory situated 1380 metres above sea level is reachable only by a trail that winds through forests of beech trees until you reach the alpine pastures, overlooking Cavaione Valley, a side valley of the Sermenza Valley. The interior contains a cycle of frescoes painted by an unknown artist during the mid-fifteenth century.
