The Sentiero Valtellina is a bike path that runs along the river Adda and links Colico to Bormio over a total distance of 114 km. The section that crosses the area of Sondrio (from Forcola to Castello dell'Acqua) is mostly flat, except for a short steep climb in Castello dell'Acqua. This path will lead you to the discovery of many interesting places in the surroundings of Sondrio, such as the Castellina Park or the Bordighi Natural Reserve.  There are several picnic areas along the Sentiero Valtellina:  Fusine: km 35,9 Cedrasco: km 36,9 Cedrasco: km 37,8 Caiolo: km 40,2 Albosaggia: km 42,8 Albosaggia: km 43,8 Sondrio: km 44,3 Sondrio: km 45 Castelletto di Sondrio: km 46 Sondrio: km 46,5 Bordighi: km 47,5 Poggiridenti: km 50 Piateda: km 51 Carolo: km 54 Castello dell'Acqua: km 57 Castello dell'Acqua: km 60

The Lower Valtellina is an ideal destination for the discerning tourist who wants to take a break from work and the hectic pace of the city. The picturesque villages of these areas welcome the visitor by telling him or her their history, through the remains of ancient castles and monasteries or the more modern murals. A walk through the historic center or out of town reveals old houses with wooden galleries, wash houses, lively crafts that have almost disappeared, small churches and shrines. But Bassa Valtellina is also the valley of large numbers. Buglio in Monte is the town that, in its development from south to north, rises an impressive 3410 meters in altitude, a record among the municipalities in the area. Tartano, on the other hand, is home to Europe's highest Tibetan bridge.
