San Valentino Hermitage in Gargnano closed: safety works in progress

The Municipality of Gargnano has decided to close the Hermitage of San Valentino until April 30th due to necessary construction work to ensure the safety of the area. Specifically, these are measures to mitigate the risk of collapses in the Sisengla area, which involve the construction of structures to secure unstable rock formations.

This closure affects several trails, including the BVG-CAI 265 trail from Pizzo (Pis) to Sasso, the San Valentino via ferrata, and the via ferrata that ascends from the hermitage to connect with CAI 231 (excluding that section).

The decision was made to ensure public safety in the area and will only be in effect for the duration of the construction work. Once the disengagement and safety measures are completed, the Hermitage of San Valentino will be accessible to visitors again.

Therefore, it is advised that anyone planning to visit the Hermitage during this period pays attention to the Municipality’s instructions and respects the pedestrian and vehicular transit ban on the affected trails. Safety is of utmost importance, and these measures are necessary to ensure a secure environment for all visitors.
