Description

Our tip for the following stage of the ViaValtellina:

  • San Romerio: The sanctuary and refuge are located 800 meters above Lake Poschiavo.

On old mule tracks, partly on melioration roads, you reach Viano after about 1 1/2 hours. Then follows a short climb to La Dogana (unmanned border post). As far as Roncaiola in Italy, you will discover traces of the former smugglers' paths again and again. From Roncaiola, a partially paved path leads through the vineyards to Tirano.

The final destination of the Via Valtellina South and standard route has been reached. Tirano is also the starting point of the Italian continuation of the Via Valtellina, because the Via Terrazzementi to Morbegno begins here.

Benvenuto in Italia. Tirano was the starting point of the wine muleteers: here grows the popular "Veltliner". You should definitely treat yourself to a tasting of Valtellina specialties (wines, bresola and cheeses) and take your time to visit Palazzo Salis.
