Saint Martin hermitage, Mountain hermitage and chapel in Carisolo, Italy

The Saint Martin hermitage stands at 1226 meters elevation, featuring a rectangular structure with basic prayer benches and a painting of Saint Martin at the altar.

Built in 1312 and reconstructed in 1485, the hermitage housed religious solitary individuals until 1850, marking centuries of continuous spiritual presence in the region.

The hermitage remains a focal point for local religious celebrations, with residents maintaining traditions related to Saint Martin of Tours throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the hermitage via a 4.6-kilometer hiking trail from Carisolo's central square, following path number 228 through woods of fir and larch trees.

Local narratives tell of the last hermit who received bread deliveries from a tame bear, with his death marked by January blooming flowers called maggiociondolo.
