Descrizione

Il sentiero in questione rappresenta l'antica mulattiera di principale accesso all'Alpe di Mera, ora intersecata dalla strada carrozzabile. Ancora oggi viene utilizzata ogni anno, al termine dell'inverno, per la processione che rinnova l'antico voto risalente al 1585. Negli archivi non si trovano molti documenti, ma la data è tutt'oggi osservabile su un affresco nell'Oratorio della Madonna della Neve all'Alpe di Mera. In quell'anno (1585), gli abitanti di Scopello e Pila fecero voto alla Madonna di salire a piedi, dalla Chiesa Parrocchiale di Scopello all' Oratorio dedicato alla Madonna della Neve, all'Alpe in processione, poichè la Beata Vergine Maria aveva difeso le greggi e gli abitanti dall'invasione dei lupi. Così da allora, ogni anno, almeno un componente per ogni nucleo famigliare raggiunge l'Oratorio. Ancora oggiquesta celebrazione è molto sentita:rappresenta un motivo di ringraziamento per la stagione invernale conclusa ed è di buon auspicio per la stagione estiva alle port; molti sono i partecipanti. Lungo il percorso sono presenti alcuni piloni votivi, due piuttosto antichi , uno risalente alla prima metà del XX secolo, luoghi di sosta a testimonianza della fede e dell'arte di chi transitava abitualmente per quella via. L'immagine della Madonna di Mera conservata nell'antico oratorio è una copia settecentesca della Madonna di Oropa, inserendo così il Santuario all'interno del circuito di pellegrinaggi delle "Madonne Nere" presenti nel territorio alpino.
