Holiday apartment in Vigo Rendena – mountain village, churches and trails

Vigo Rendena lies partly on the eastern slopes of Corno Basso and partly on the valley floor at the edge of an extensive agricultural area. The village preserves the character of a traditional mountain village with stone houses, wooden hay barns and fountains along the main streets. In 1929, Vigo Rendena was destroyed by a severe fire and almost completely rebuilt. When choosing a holiday apartment in Vigo Rendena, you can therefore shape your stay around village history, trails and the surrounding nature.

Churches, chapels and visible history

The Church of San Lorenzo, whose history dates back to before 1384, is part of the village's historical landmarks. In the immediate vicinity of Vigo Rendena, the Chiesa di San Valentino on Monte Nizzone was consecrated on 20 July 1405. It was built by the communities of Vigo Rendena, Darè and Javrè to protect the herds that were driven up to the alpine pastures. The Chiesa di San Valentino preserves frescoes attributed to Simone Baschenis depicting the Annunciation, Christ and the Evangelists.

The Grotta di Lourdes is a small shrine in the Fisaröl district in the upper part of Vigo Rendena and was built in 1959. It faithfully reproduces the grotto of Lourdes. It contains statues of the Madonna and Saint Bernadette created by the sculptor Ermanno Moroder from Ortisei. According to tradition, the Capitello delle Quattro Facce in Vigo Rendena was erected in 1348 as a votive offering during the plague and expanded in 1630.
