Route
From the bus stop in Breglia continue straight on to the big parking lot on the right side of the church. A wide mule-track starts off from here to the right, which leads first level and then slightly uphill to the chapel of San Domenico. From the chapel you follow the path marked with red paint through the woods, which ends up at a big pasture. You cross the pasture on a small track to the left and you find yourself right at the beginning of the steps, which lead up the Santuario. On your way down from the Santuario you follow the easy lane to the center of Breglia.
