WHY THIS HIKE

Madonna della Corona: rock & faith

A sanctuary glued to the rock, hanging over the void. You can only reach it on foot.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Brentino Belluno and climb the Pilgrim's Path, an out-and-back route that makes itself felt step after step. We cross the woods, pass the cross that watches over the valley, and reach the Grotta della Pietà, a tiny niche in the rock with its own story of devotion. Then comes the highlight: the Ponte del Tiglio, a stone bridge spanning a deep gorge, followed by the final staircase, carved zigzag into the sheer wall of Monte Cimo, protected by railings on both sides. At the top we find the Santuario della Madonna della Corona, built right into the cliff as if it had grown there.

Legend says the Madonna statue was once hidden in the Grotta della Pietà during restoration works: a detail that makes every step up here feel even more real.

5 reasons to join - the Sanctuary glued to the rock, one of Italy's most spectacular - the Ponte del Tiglio hanging over the gorge - the staircase carved into Monte Cimo's cliff - the Grotta della Pietà and its legend - a pilgrimage that turns into a real mountain hike

Who it's for Not technically hard, but all those steps add up: you'll need decent legs and some fitness, no climbing skills required.

Join the Guidders: we climb together, and up there the view makes every step worth it.
