Winter in the valleys of Sondrio

from IN-LOMBARDIA.IT

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.

Snowkiting on the Montespluga plain
Just a few kilometres from Madesimo, the Montespluga plain opens out like a plateau suspended in the mountains. In winter, the snow covers everything in its white blanket and the wind takes the lead in one of the season’s most spectacular experiences. This is one of the locations where you can try snowkiting, a sport that combines the freedom of snowboarding with the power of the wind.

Discover Livigno by horse-drawn sleigh
Among the snowy trails of Valtellina is a slower, more magical way to discover the mountains, but no less adventurous for that: horse-drawn sleigh. In Livigno, this is a classic winter experience, able to offer anyone the authentic pleasure of close contact with nature. Wrapped in warm blankets, you get comfy in your sleigh and set off to enjoy panoramic that change with every bend.

Snow Tubing in Lombardy
Snow Tubing is a sport practised on the snow, using inflatable inner tubes. It is fun for everyone, above all, children. You go up to the top of the slope on a travelator lift and then come down at great speed, sliding over the snow on board circular rubber inner tubes that are hard to control. The free descent is unpredictable, and there are endless tube directions and positions.
