Pellegrinaggio alla Madonna della Neve (Voto di Biandino)

In 2025, the Voto di Biandino was punctually renewed on August 5th. The procession started at dawn from Introbio, in the province of Lecco, ascending towards the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve in Val Biandino. Hundreds of faithful – village residents, Valsassina locals, and tourists – gathered on the valley's meadows for the religious celebrations, renewing the promise made in 1836 to be spared from cholera. A tradition nearly two centuries old, which continues to unite the community of Introbio in faith, memory, and connection with the mountains.
