Small church on the trail.

Baroque-style complex

Trails that cross the forest, technical and fun, some small technical sections but excellent for gaining experience

You can pass by side

A pleasant climb with a very steep 2 km between Viera and Piane. After a short climb, we've arrived! The road to Ailoche is closed due to a landslide. The road, aside from the very rough asphalt at the top, was in excellent condition!

The sanctuary was born as a chapel that housed a wooden statue of the Madonna, considered miraculous. A 13th century lime wood statue, depicting the Madonna with her heart pierced by 7 very sharp swords, owned by the Piantello family, granted great graces to those who turned to it. With the alms received in 1563, a primitive chapel was built, with inside the simulacrum of M.V. Addolorata and frescoes of the Gaudenzian school: the ascent to Calvary and the Crucifixion. It was visited in 1584 by an illustrious pilgrim, San Carlo Borromeo, guest of the noble Piantello family, whose 16th century house is adjacent to the Sanctuary. The pilgrimage of Carlo Borromeo is represented in the frescoes of the vault of the sanctuary. In 1709 the current church with the portico was built, integrating the small chapel. The church was blessed in 1719. Inside there are notable stuccos and statues of angels made by Giovanni Antonio Marca of Campertogno in 1714 and the frescoes of the dome and walls by Valentino Rossetti of Orta, with the fresco depicting St. Charles on his knees, dated 1720. On 14 August 1903 the consecration of the Church by the Bishop of Vercelli took place.

After passing the Agnona cemetery on the left the path begins which immediately starts with a long climb that ends at the Alpeggio Le Maddalene with a 500m difference in altitude from there the descent towards Postua begins with beautiful technical passages

The small church is dedicated to the protector of plagues and dates back to the 11th century and was the first church in Postua and the Strona Valley. It was built on the living rock overlooking the Strona stream. From the finds preserved inside the rock it can be deduced that it was built on the remains of works dating back to the Iron Age and the Roman Age.
