Above Camporosso, at 1,790 metres above sea level, there is a place that makes you stop. Not because of the effort - the route is very short and the cable car takes you there in just a few minutes - but because of what you find when you arrive: a medieval village perched among the peaks of the Julian Alps, the scent of traditional mountain dishes drifting from the kitchens, the sound of the sanctuary bells, and a panorama that embraces three countries.
Monte Lussari is one of the most beloved places in Valcanale, and it is easy to understand why. The Marian sanctuary that dominates the village has been a pilgrimage destination for centuries: according to tradition, it was founded in 1360 after a shepherd miraculously found a statue of the Madonna. Since then, every year, thousands of people have climbed up here - some out of devotion, some for the view, and some simply to breathe.
With MACA, the route becomes something more. The MACA points placed throughout the village guide you through stories, details and curiosities you would hardly discover on your own: the architecture of the wooden houses, the legends linked to the sanctuary, and the history of a place that for centuries was a crossroads between different Alpine cultures.
All you have to do is take the cable car from Camporosso, scan the QR code and let the place tell its story.
