Highlights and tour details

From Bagni di Vinadio thermal baths, continue on the road that leads to San Bernolfo. When you reach the junction for the hamlet of Callieri, leave it to continue on the left and, after crossing the stream, follow path P19 that goes up the Tesina valley. At an altitude of 1947 m you will find the Tesina hut; here the valley divides in two and, ignoring path P20 path on the right, which runs through the Gorgia dei Laghi valley towards Passo del Bue, you continue south-east. Going into the Vallone Roccias Lion and passing in the middle of the scree, you arrive at Passo di Tesina (2400m). You then descend rapidly to the rock of the apparition and then to the highest sanctuary in Europe (2010m), which every year attracts many worshippers and tourists, who reach it with all types of means.
