Marian Way of the Alps

Discover the Western Path of the Way that passes through Marian places of worship in Valtellina

Automatically translated

In all, there are 5 stages of the Western Way of this Cammino, for a total of 91 km, through places dedicated to Our Lady, arriving at the shrine of the patron saint of Valtellina.

The Marian Path of the Alps, as a whole, is a project of great religious, cultural and touristic value, created with the aim of creating a trekking itinerary that, through Valtellina and touching some Marian places of worship in the province of Sondrio, leads up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Tirano, proclaimed in 1946 by Pope Pius XII "Heavenly Patroness of Valtellina" and considered among the most important religious monuments in the province.

The complete itinerary includes two routes: the Via Occidentale, from Piantedo to Tirano, with a total length of 91 km, and the Via Orientale from Bormio to Tirano, 66 km in length, which is under construction.

The Western Way, specifically, can be divided and traveled in 5 stages: Piantedo-Morbegno, Morbegno-Berbenno, Berbenno-Sondrio, Sondrio-Teglio and Teglio-Tirano.

The route grafts onto other networks of trails and paths, first and foremost the Via dei Terrazzamenti, which represents the most typical area of the Valtellina landscape, characterized by terraced vineyards but also by historic-artistic, civil and religious buildings of considerable value and interest, strongly representative and charged with symbolic value.

It is recommended to walk the trail from March to November; the usability of the trail in the remaining months is not guaranteed.

The project of the Marian Path of the Alps, has been accepted by the Municipality of Tirano and the Rectory of the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Tirano, to take on a broad dimension with the involvement of the Province of Sondrio, which has enabled the design and implementation of the itinerary.
