OVERVIEW

Valtellina is a broad valley in northern Italy, with terraced vineyards, towns and farms extending beneath steep alpine slopes. Agriculture and cross mountain routes shaped its settlement. The relationship between alpine vineyards, stone villages and high mountain roads across a long valley known for food and wine and outdoor travel gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Walking, food and wine visits provide the main experiences, while higher valleys add skiing and mountain trails, while distances make several local bases useful. Spending time with both alpine vineyards and stone villages and high mountain roads across a long valley known for food reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
