Additional information

The path to take, is the forest road that, slightly uphill, starts from the parking at Passo Oclini and goes around it (No. 1), until you reach Capanna nuova.
Once you reach Capanna Nuova take a left to Pietralba(Weißenstein), always staying on the forest road (Nr.2A).
In a few meters, on the right, a staircase path (Nr.2) opens up: this is the shortest and most interesting way; alternatively, you can continue on the carriage road, which is more comfortable but longer (it's the way is marked on the map), following the signs for Pietralba.
Take the stairway to the Malga Monte San Pietro and then continue on the forest road to the sanctuary.
For the return, follow the outward route or take the road not taken on the outward journey to Capanna Nuova.
Since the return journey is slightly uphill, it will take about half an hour longer than the outward journey.
