The landslide of Gannariente / Ganarint was the worst in historical time for the Bavonatal, a huge block debris field blocks the entire valley floor with some towering boulders. In 1595, the small church was built in memory - after all, the largest in the valley. Every year on the first Sunday of May, a procession of Cavergno takes place from here.

The church of Gannariente is one of the many jewels in the Val Bavona. It is worth stopping here for a moment, because an old fresco above the entrance door of the church shows an unusual picture. What exactly is there to discover for yourself...
