Salita tra il 7 e 8% con buon asfalto e poche macchine, si arriva al santuario dopo una salita in ambiente naturale che ripaga dello sforzo. Da fare se si va al passo del Penice.

Once you arrive at Passo Penice, you should definitely consider going up to the summit. In good weather you will be able to see stunning panoramas all around you.

The road condition can be hit and miss but it is to be expected given the location. Some sections are quite steep, especially the very last bit to the summit. At the top you will find a monument, a monastery and a little bar to enjoy a coffee and the panorama before descending.
