The Path of the Popes: a journey between faith and nature
The Path of the Popes is one of the most evocative spiritual paths in the Dolomites. It begins and ends in Piazza Calvi in Lorenzago, a symbolic place and the arrival point of the pilgrimage. The name of the path comes from the first stay of John Paul II in Lorenzago in 1988: an experience so significant that it made the walk a true destination of devotion.
The Popes’ Way: A European Spiritual Itinerary
In addition to the Path, the entire territory is crossed by the Via dei Papi, a network of naturalistic and contemplative paths that winds from Lorenzago di Cadore to Pra de Menego, passing through fifteen stages among breathtaking landscapes. This itinerary is closely linked to the figure of three Popes born in these valleys: Gregory XVI, Pius X and John Paul I.
The Via dei Papi connects to the main spiritual paths of Europe, including the Via Francigena and the Cammini Adriatici, uniting Austria, Venice, Belluno and Rome. It is an ideal route for pilgrims traveling to the Holy See during the Jubilee 2025.
