In the heart of the Western Rhaetian Alps, Valmalenco stretches behind Sondrio, dominated by the 4,049-meter Pizzo Bernina, the highest peak in the Central Alps.

In winter, its snowy landscape provides breathtaking scenery, offering a perfect balance of sports, unspoiled nature and traditions handed down through the centuries.

A Wild and Fascinating Valley

The Valmalenco is one of the few alpine valleys where wildlife lives free and undisturbed. In winter, it is possible to spot deer, chamois and even the golden eagle, which soars majestically over the snowy peaks. This corner of the Alps still retains its most authentic spirit, where man is host to a powerful and untamed nature.
