Nice highlight..

The patronage of "Our Lady of the Snows" – which, in my experience, is not all that common – indicates that this church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but not, as is usually the case, associated with one of her classic feast days (such as the Name of Mary, the Nativity, the Assumption, or as Queen of the Rosary). Rather, the search for the origin of "Our Lady of the Snows" leads us far back in church history to the fourth or fifth century, and geographically speaking, away from Sardinia to the Italian capital. On August 5, 363, at the site where the magnificent church of Santa Maria Maggiore stands today, the so-called "Miracle of the Snows" occurred. That is, on that day, in the middle of summer, snow lay on the ground in the morning because Our Lady wanted a church dedicated to her to be built on that spot. She communicated this wish in a nighttime vision to a wealthy couple – who financed the construction – and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius. The Roman church has the rank of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica), and is the origin of all churches and chapels bearing this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the date of August 5, the day of the church's consecration (in the year 432 by Pope Sixtus III), is a "non-obligatory memorial."

It's not really a "via ferrata" - but you need to have the ability to find your way and should be able to climb a bit to get to the top (and back down safely).

Even though it gets a bit steeper at this point and you might need to use your hands to help, this section was still easy to walk in October despite the rain. And the path is always visible. With good shoes and a bit of fitness, this climb can be mastered quite easily.

In the heart of a splendid forest you encounter the Rio Pisciaroni, bordered by an enchanting path. It's wonderful to listen to the silence of nature. Here there is a small bridge and a simple ford.

The small church, located at 1000 meters above sea level, is surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. Rebuilt in 1994 on the remains of the 1900 building, it reflects the architecture of the ancient Gallura churches, with exposed granite. The feast of the Madonna della Neve is celebrated on August 5th.

Punta Gjucantinu is the second highest peak of Mount Limbara. You can reach it easily with a path and a short climb. From the top, the view is breathtaking: you have a view that extends from the Gulf of Asinara to the Gennargentu chain. A majestic and fascinating panorama.
