Route of Terraces

The Via dei Terrazzamenti is a long trail that traverses the most characteristic area of the Valtellina landscape (a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage recognition), the terraced vineyards strung mid slope, at altitudes of 300 to 700 meters, on the Rhaetian side of the lower and middle Valtellina valley.

The route can be followed on foot or by bike in certain tracts and is seventy kilometers long, all told, running from Morbegno to Tirano, and can be taken from Sondrio in either direction.
The route, dotted with forty rest areas over all, winds along the steep, rocky slope of the mountain, among vineyards, apple orchards and the traditional dry stone walls, passing through woods, old hamlets, torrents and civil and religious buildings of great historical and artistic significance.
