Experiences in Valtellina

Wonders of nature and landscapes that will leave you speechless are waiting for you on one of the most spectacular high-altitude railways in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, the Bernina Red Train departs from Tirano (429 m) goes up the spectacular helical viaduct of Brusio and climbs up to Ospizio Bernina station (2253 m), and then descends again, being cradled, to the valley of the Inn river: the upper Engadine and the life styled St. Moritz

For cycling and mountain biking enthusiasts, Tirano is the ideal starting point. E-bikes, road-bikes, MTBs, Citybikes: itineraries of all kinds await you, from the famous Alpine passes of the Giro d'Italia such as the Stelvio Pass, Gavia Pass, Mortirolo Pass to the spectacular Sentiero Valtellina (114 km ) that starts from Bormio and ends on Lake Como, or Via dei Terrazzamenti Retici which crosses vineyards and ancient cellars. Don't miss the thrill of cycling in the clouds retracing the great feats of cycling history or enjoying a day on an e-bike in the vineyards or on the Sentiero Valtellina (Valtellina Trail)

Tirano hosts the largest competitive Nordic Walking event in Italy ONWF. Two non-competitive Nordic Walking (with poles) and Walking (without poles) are proposed: a walk through the city accompanied by a tour guide of about 6 km (Relax route) suitable for everyone and a panoramic walk on the way of the terraces of the Terziere Superiore from Bianzone to Tirano of about 10 km suitable for slightly more trained walkers (Panorama route). However, you can also discover the wonders of the terraces of Valtellina during the rest of the year, at a slow pace on your own or through guided tours, along one of the Valtellina Wine Trekking, a network of itineraries (from 3 to 7 km, 1-2 h) between rows, 2,500 km of dry stone walls, castles, sanctuaries, evocative views that will accompany you to the cellars of the producers of Nebbiolo delle Alpi where you can enjoy a tasting to learn about our wines. But the trek does not end here, right in the central part of Valtellina where the Wine Roads start, we find the two main massifs of Disgrazia and Bernina, which can be an opportunity to undertake on an itinerary on foot alone or with mountain guides and Nordic Walking experts.

There are five spectacular mountain bike descents that from the high altitudes of the mountains of Valtellina and Valposchiavo (Switzerland) plunge to the bottom of the valley along dirt roads, mule tracks, military roads and paths, specially marked for bikers. Some easier, others more challenging, but all fun, must be tackled with good physical ability and knowledge of downhill techniques. The arrival of the Col D'Anzana descent is located near our apartments La Valle Maggiore.

The Adda river offers the opportunity to practice rafting and canoeing, on rapids but also on easier stretches, accompanied by an instructor or guide.

In the main mountain locations near Bernina Suites you can practice ski mountaineering and snowshoe trails, two classic ways to move around in winter nature and which allow you to enter the woods and valleys, which in winter fall into an apparent sleep

Livigno with its 30 km of cross-country ski trail, Santa Caterina with its track that winds through the woods of the Stelvio National Park and Trivigno in the silence of its woods and fairytale landscapes are a must if you are a fan of narrow skiing. 

Halfway between Bormio and Livigno, in Arnoga, you will find the Italian Sledgedog Husky Village center. Experience the thrill of being pulled by Husky dogs along tens of kilometers of flat slopes through mountain landscapes of rare beauty. Practice alpine skiing in Aprica, Santa Caterina or in the locations that will host the 2026 Winter Olympics, more than 100 km of slopes for all levels and tastes await you in Bormio and Livigno. 

Don't want to give up cycling in winter? Cycling in the snow is possible: thanks to fat bikes you can ride along numerous paths in total tranquility.

This oasis of tranquility is just a few minutes' drive from our apartments and offers simple and easy itineraries that allow the visitor to immerse themselves in the nature of this ancient peat bog of glacial origin.

Walking along the educational itinerary of this naturalistic area you can observe chamois, ibex, roe deer, birds of prey, squirrels and other species of animals and plants that populate the Orobie Valtellinesi Park. Live this experience together with the little ones, you will give them a unique and unforgettable moment.
