Madonna del Sasso is the most famous pilgrimage church in Italian Switzerland, built around 1485. Running nearby is very pleasant, you also have smooth paths so you can stay away from cars. Excellent starting point to consider a cultural visit!

"Madonna of the people—that's an expression I like very much. It means, I think, that the people know Mary is close to them, whether as a mother who cares for her children, or as a sister who has—at least in part—walked the same path we walk. In the truest sense, Mary is the Mother of Christ and thus the Mother of God. But Christ is our greater brother, the head of the entire Christian family. So we too can call her Mother: Mother of the Church, Mother of each of us."
Text: Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice (later Pope John Paul I)
