Spiritualità e turismo: il caso del Cristo pensante

The paper aims to analyse a mountain itinerary which presents the features of a spiritual tourism destination in Trentino Dolomites. It is an example of modern transformation of religious individualism, where the spirituality is characterized by the quest for themselves and an immanent well-being. This mountain path shows conflicts and contradictions that the Sacred in the tourist set detects at the social level. The redundancy of religious representations face to the leisure activity of walking is here seen at the light of continuity and discontinuity of religious tourism / pilgrimage because in this spiritual tourism case the main role is ascribed to the emotions and intangible meanings.
