Maria della Neve Church (Our Lady of the Snows) and SS Cuore di Gesù (Sacred Heart of Jesus)

The Rio di Lagundo (Aschbach) district is separated from the rest of the city. It is located on Mount Tramontana (Nörderberg) in Val Venosta (Vinschgau) valley, forming a small enclave between the towns of Parcines (Partschins) and Plaus. Rio Lagundo can be reached by cable car and of course also by road. It is particularly worth visiting the Maria della Neve Church (Our Lady of the Snows) and the SS Cuore di Gesù (Sacred Heart of Jesus). The small Maria della Neve Church was built in 1695 and stands on top of a hill. In 1889, a larger church was built and dedicated to the Santissimo Cuore di Gesù (Sacred Heart of Jesus). The church is open to visitors from 7am to 8pm daily.
