Behold – be at one – be amazed

With these words, we welcome all visitors to the Creation Trail on the Rodengo and Luson Alps.

When the religious man turns his eyes to creation, he comes closer to the mysteries of God, of man and of nature, and senses intuitively that by living in communion with God, mankind and nature blossom.

The Creation Trail invites visitors from near and far to wonder at the magic of the surrounding landscape, moulded through mankind over the centuries to bestow upon it the form that we see today.

Among artists and art lovers, the perception of religious motif and the language they speak are perhaps their greatest source of inspiration. The highest form of artistic expression is giving voice to the unvoiced.

When following the trail, each visitor can behold, be at one and be amazed in their own personal way, and hear the message that unites us all.
