    Tips

    October 7, 2023

    On Monte MAGGIORASCA, hikers are not greeted by a summit cross, but by a figure of the Virgin Mary: the statue of Our Lady is enthroned on the mountain on a stone base several meters high and tiered several times. From its exposed location it looks out into the vastness of the country. The builders certainly wanted to ask Mary's blessing for the land - and especially the people living there. In 1947, shortly after the end of the Second World War, the population built this Marian shrine here at an altitude of around 1,800 meters. It is dedicated to the Black Madonna of Guadelupe, the most important pilgrimage site on the American continent, located in Mexico.
