Description

Our tip for the next stage of the ViaValtellina:

San Romerio: The pilgrimage church and mountain hut lie 800 meters above Lago di Poschiavo.

On old pack trails, partially on drainage roads, you reach Viano after about 1½ hours. Then a short climb follows to La Dogana (unmanned border post). Up to Italian Roncaiola, you will repeatedly discover traces of former smuggler paths. From Roncaiola, a partly paved path leads right through the vineyards to Tirano.

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

Benvenuto in Italia. Tirano was the starting point of the wine carriers: the popular “Veltliner” grows here. You should definitely treat yourself to a tasting of Veltliner specialties (wines, bresaola, and cheese) and take time to visit Palazzo Salis.
