The Madonna di Senale pilgrimage site (Unsere Liebe Frau im Walde) is located at Passo Palade in the Alta Val di Non. From the village centre near the agritourism Weissn Sepp, we take the Sentiero di Proves (Proveiser Steig), a forest path on the southern side of Monte Luco, towards west.
After about three kilometres, the path intersects the road from Castelfondo to Malga Castrin (Aleralm). We follow the forest path no. 157 towards Passo Castrin (Hofmahdjoch). After crossing the wood, we climb to the peat bogs of Monte Sous and continue to the alpine meadows of Passo Castrin, situated below the Cornicolo peak. Path no. 133 finally leads us to Malga Castrin, where we taste the typical delicacies of the Trentino cuisine. In the afternoon, we return on the same path.
