Alpine Marian Path - Eastern Route
-
Photo: APF Valtellina, Valtellina Outdoor
The Alpine Marian Path is the trekking route that allows you to cross the Valtellina up to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Tirano, a pilgrimage destination for centuries. A spiritual journey that touches many Marian places of worship but is also an opportunity to discover the deeper cultural side and the most characteristic landscapes of the Sondrio province.
The Alpine Marian Path has two routes: the Western Route, from Piantedo to Tirano, 90 km, and the Eastern Route from Bormio to Tirano, 70 km, which is the route you are currently seeing.
Before starting the Path, remember to download the Credential from the official website, the "pilgrim’s passport", a document that certifies the completion of the Alpine Marian Path through a series of stamps that certify, for the various stages, the pilgrim’s passage. Upon presenting the Credential at the last stage, at the Madonna of Tirano Sanctuary, the Testimonium (certificate of pilgrimage completion) will be issued by the Rector of the Madonna of Tirano Sanctuary.

ATTENTION!
From June 15 to September 15, on the Milano-Lecco-Sondrio-Tirano and Lecco-Sondrio-Tirano railway lines: due to infrastructure enhancement work and extraordinary maintenance on the line, train traffic will be suspended between Colico and Tirano. Trains will run between Milan and Colico; a replacement bus service will be activated for travel between Colico and Tirano. Some buses will connect Colico and Sondrio directly; others will connect Colico and Tirano, with only one intermediate stop at Tresenda; others will make all the stops scheduled for the train.
