    At an altitude of 1,520 meters there is the most significant pilgrimage site in South Tyrol: the sanctuary of the Madonna di Pietralba. The basilica stands imposingly over the Ega Valley.

    Here, in 1553, the Virgin Mary appeared to Brother Leonhard Weissensteiner after he had fallen into a deep gorge. Leonhard built a chapel in honor of the Virgin Mary, which was soon expanded into the current baroque building. The imposing convent was added later.

    From here you can enjoy a magnificent view of the sanctuary with the mountains in the background.
