Valtellina
A magnificent, unspoilt landscape, with age-old craft traditions and numerous local festivities.
A few kilometers from Milan, stretching from the Stelvio to the Spluga Pass, the vast and marvelously unspoilt territory of the Valtellina covers snow capped mountains, lush valleys and Alpine lakes. It is the ideal place for nature lovers, both in winter and summer.
The heart of the Valtellina lies in the National Nature Reserve of the Stelvio. Home to a wealth of craft traditions and products such as the colorful woven carpets or pezzetti, the Valtellina also hosts numerous festivals and fairs such as the Festa dei Pizzoccheri, the Bitto Cheese Show and the Festa d'Alpeggio.
