The villages of the Lower Valtellina between adventure and relaxation

Automatically translated

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.

Bassa Valtellina offers a vacation suitable both for those who want to relax while enjoying local products and for those in search of strong emotions, which only the mountains can offer .

In autumn, there are numerous events related to Valtellina's food and wine excellence organized in the area, unmissable events dedicated to the ancient flavors of tradition: from bitto to apples, from wine to cheese, to satisfy the tastes of all palates.

The more sporty can discover breathtaking hiking routes and experience trekking trails at multiple levels of difficulty. But, without straying too far from the town center, you can also take leisurely walks through the contrade.
