For hiking plans, the following is also important: the Isella – Rocce dei Gridoni circuit is classified as an EE route for experienced hikers with equipment. The Via del Mercato route begins in Re near the Santuario della Madonna del Sangue di Re. A walkable section of the ancient mule track known as the Via del Mercato leads towards the border at Ponte Ribellasca. The different types of paths help you find the balance you want for your accommodation in Re, without limiting your stay to a single way of experiencing the area.

The Santuario della Madonna del Sangue di Re was built after a fresco of the Madonna del Latte, originally painted on the façade of the small Chiesa di San Maurizio, began to sweat blood. The Museo del Santuario di Re houses a collection of votive offerings. Thus, the sacred focus ranges from an unusual origin story to tangible evidence of religious practice.

The Chiesa di Santa Caterina was rebuilt from 1584 onwards and consecrated in 1603 by Bishop Bescapé. Its main altar is fitted with a small marble tabernacle. In Dissimo, the Chiesa di Santa Caterina has been documented as an oratory since at least the 15th century. Its construction period, furnishings and long documented history offer different perspectives on the same sacred building.

The Oratorio di Santo Stefano likewise focuses on its construction period, restoration and subject matter: the Oratorio di Santo Stefano in Folsogno was built at the end of the 17th century and restored between 1967 and 1969. Its 1685 altarpiece depicts the stoning of Saint Stephen. The combination of architectural history and pictorial subject gives the Oratorio a particularly vivid cultural profile.

In the wider regional area around Re are Palazzo Flaim and Villa San Remigio, both palaces. Also located in the wider regional area around Re are the Monastero Benedettine Ss. Sacramento, a monastery, and the Mausoleo Cadorna, a monument. When choosing a holiday apartment in Re, the desired mix may be decisive: mountain and trail themes, the focus on the Santuario and museum, churches and the Oratorio, as well as the regional palaces, monastery and monument. If you are planning with different interests within the family, this allows you to structure your stay around the discoveries you prefer.
