Situated at 1,520 meters above sea level, surrounded by woods and breathtaking views, the Sanctuary of Pietralba is one of the most beloved and visited places of worship in all of South Tyrol. More than just a religious destination, it is a place of the soul, where history, faith, art, and nature meet to offer pilgrims and visitors a unique experience.
We'll cross the Ega Valley, which begins in Bolzano and runs east between the Catinaccio and Latemar mountains. This road was built in 1895 when the territory was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Part of the route runs through a canyon carved out by the Ega River. We'll stop at Lake Carezza, the most beautiful lake in the Dolomites: a 30-minute stay with a walk around the lake, if you like.
From here begins a long series of 27 hairpin bends that will lead us to the famous Pordoi Pass, at an altitude of 2,239 meters above sea level. It's an hour's stay if you decide to take the cable car to Sass Pordoi (2,950 meters; the cable car is open from late May to mid-October and from Christmas to Easter).
From the Pordoi Pass we go back a few kilometers to reach the Sella Pass: here the landscape is truly impressive with the vertical walls of the Sella lying right in front of us.... From the Sella Pass we can admire the Marmolada glacier (3,343 m) and the majestic Sassolungo (3,181 m), the most famous mountain in Val Gardena: 15 minute stop for photos.
Descending from the Sella Pass, we'll enter Val Gardena, the most famous tourist valley in the Dolomites, and stay in its largest town, the beautiful Ortisei. We'll spend an hour there for lunch and to explore the town.
