Sanctuary of San Romedio
Santuario di San Romedio
A hermitage sanctuary built on the top of a 90 m rock pillar in a gorge, with five small chapels stacked one above another and connected to the village of Sanzeno by a gorge trail.
The Sanctuary of San Romedio is in the Non Valley. According to legend, Saint Romedio lived here as a hermit and tamed a bear. The sanctuary consists of five chapels built between the 11th and 20th centuries, stacked on the rock pillar and reached by 131 steps, creating a striking shape. Next to the sanctuary is a bear park that cares for rescued brown bears. The recommended route is a one-hour walk from Sanzeno along the gorge path, which is carved into the cliff and offers beautiful scenery. You can also drive to a nearby parking lot and walk for a few minutes. Admission to the sanctuary is free, but dress modestly when entering.
