Tips

With its 1804 meters, Monte Maggiorasca is the highest in the whole of the Apennines and in the old guides it was called Monte Misurasca. In the highest part there are repeaters while hikers commonly reach 1796 meters on the southwestern tip where the statue of the Madonna of Guadalupe has been standing since 1947, overlooking the Santo Stefano d'Aveto basin. The landscape extends beyond the panoramic peak of the Rocca del Prete which plunges into the valley. The name of the fortress derives from an ancient legend, according to which, in ancient times, a priest would have lost his life falling from the rocks.

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. It is dedicated to the Black Madonna of Guadelupe, the most important pilgrimage site on the American continent, located in Mexico.

The statue is very beautiful. It is located at 1799 m because 1804 m is the hill of the antennas
