Sports and activities in Valtellina

Valtellina offers an array of sporting opportunities. All winter sports are available during the coldest months: alpine skiing, snowboarding and cross country skiing on the slopes of Valmalenco, Aprica, Bormio and Livigno, ski mountaineering and snowshoeing with many itineraries and destinations, ice skating in town and fat biking on the snow.

In spring and summer this land of snow transforms into a verdant landscape, where nature is an authentic outdoor gym for any sport: cycling and mountain biking along the nearby Valtellina Path, rafting and canoeing in the waters of the Adda river, mountaineering and climbing for those in search of a challenge in the mountains, and riding through the woods or a natural horse-man ship.

Couples or parents who visit Valtellina can choose a different activity in the mountains every day, suitable for all ages and always a short distance from our facility. Simply venture a short distance down to the valley to the Valtellina Path, a cycle-pedestrian path which runs along the entire Sondrio province, from Lake Como to Bormio, immersed in nature, with numerous playgrounds along the entire route: ideal for a walk or leisurely cycle.

Or, choose one of hundreds of mountain excursions of various levels of difficulty (also in the winter with a pair of snow shoes), admire the animals or enjoy a relaxing day at the Thermal Baths of Bormio or at Aquagranda in Livigno.

With so many opportunities for adventurous experiences in Valtellina, those looking for a holiday filled with adrenalin in the Sondrio province will not be bored.
