Upon Romedius' death, his body was laid to rest in a small tomb above his cave in the mountains, a site that was soon visited by pilgrims.
The Sanctuary of San Romedio grew from the little church that was built to venerate him to the popular pilgrimage shrine, the Santuario di San Romedio is across the lake from Cles at the head of the Val di Non, above the village of Sanzeno.
The sanctuary where Romedio lived with his bear companion is a complex of several churches, from the Romanesque period to the 20th century beyond a gateway in the forested slopes.
Votive offerings of crutches line the walls of the narrow stone stairwell up to the highest chapel, said to mark the site of the saint's retreat.
 
His local cult, which consolidated itself in the course of the 11th century, was officially recognized in the twelfth by the Bishop of Trento.
In 1795, permission was given to read masses in his name in the diocese of Brixen, which at that time included the Northern Tyrol.
His cult remains popular in Trentino, Bavaria, and the Tyrol.
