Winter in the valleys of Sondrio

With snow, sport and adventures, in the winter, Lombardy’s mountains offer stunning scenery and unique thrills.

As the winter approaches, the mountains are transformed. From Valtellina to Valle Spluga, in Sondrio, the valleys are filled with a different light. Snow-covered trails and scenery that invites you to move around, to enjoy the climbs and descents, sliding over the powdery slopes, and discovering every corner of this giant open-air adventure park.

The endless panoramas of Livigno, peaks of Madesimo, enchanting Bormio, and white plains of Montespluga are all locations to offer unique experiences. From exciting snowmobile rides or snowkiting, to the peaceful calm of a magical ride on a horse-drawn sleigh, every experience shows you a different way to enjoy your adventures on the snow.

Crap de La Paré by snowmobile — Crap de La Paré, over two thousand metres above the Eira Pass, offers one of the most spectacular panoramas over the Livigno Valley. In winter, the route to the peak is transformed into a white slope that winds its way through the snow-covered larches and pines with the frozen lake on one side, and the majestic mountains on the other.
