The small pilgrimage church of Our Lady in the Woods stands on the Schmelz, in the heart of the wooded Martell Valley, where a mine has been documented since 1448. This charming miners' chapel was founded in 1711 by the Hendl family of counts from Kastelbell, sold in the famine year of 1816, expanded with a tower in 1856, and remodeled in the neo-Gothic style in 1894. Until after the Second World War, the people of Martell marched in procession from the parish church in the village to the chapel on the Schmelz for the church consecration festival. The patron saint's day is celebrated on the first Sunday in July, the Feast of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary (July 2), with a field mass and sermon from the boulder next to the church.

If it's not too busy, you can park here. Otherwise, park in the village above.

The whole village is a gem, traditional log cabins made of larch wood

The Stablasolo hut is located at 1,539 meters above sea level, in Val di Rabbi, in the Stelvio national park. It has a shop selling genuine typical products and is immersed in uncontaminated nature. In summer you can enjoy the green panorama and meet grazing animals. In winter, however, it is located near the cross-country ski run.

The Monte Sole Alta hut is an enchanting structure which welcomes animals to the mountain pastures during the summer, while in the winter it becomes a destination for those who love hiking, snowshoeing, ski mountaineering and sledding (however, sleds must be brought because they are not rented up here). The road that climbs from the Monte Sole Bassa hut up to here is always used with snowcats, perfect for snowshoes but also doable without them. The mountain hut offers all the comforts for a pleasant winter stay, including a delicious restaurant and an outdoor sauna to recharge in a truly restful environment. The menu offers typical Trentino dishes reinterpreted to be modern. If you intend to stop to taste the delicacies of the mountain hut, I advise you to book in advance.

The alpine hut is open in summer and there is delicious food here. While you're up here you should also go to the Saent Waterfalls.
