Monumento al RedentorePhoto: Massimiliano Pugliese, APT Trento, monte Bondone e Valle dei Laghi
Path that crosses the Piné Plateau and the Municipality of Segonzano, offering the pilgrim numerous opportunities for prayer and beauty: from fractional churches to votive shrines there is no shortage of places for spiritual refreshment in a unique naturalistic context characterized by the blue of the lakes but also from the dark green of the dense pine forests and from meadows and pastures.
The itinerary develops on a mixed track alternating forest roads with comfortable asphalted paths with some stretches on the path. In the inhabited centers and along the perimeter of the lakes there are bars and restaurants where you can refresh yourself.

Go down to the base of the hill of the Sanctuary, take via Puel and go through the countryside, always following the signs for Puel.
