Tips and suggestions

Roadbook
Along the state road that connects Sanzeno to Romeno is the Retico Museum, a center for Archaeology and Ancient History of the valley, where you can leave your car. The itinerary starts in front of the Museum where a wooden footbridge with signs for the Sanctuary of San Romedio is clearly visible. The walk continues through the apple orchards first and then in the woods until you reach the rock face of the San Romedio canyon. The walk continues flat using the old irrigation channel carved into the rock and secured with a massive parapet. Sometimes the passage is low so you need to be careful not to bump your head. The walk is always flat until you reach a wooden staircase that leads to the paved road which in a few minutes reaches the Sanctuary parking lot. From here you climb along the obvious access that leads to the base of the Sanctuary. The return is made along the same route as the outward journey.
