A journey through history, nature, and tradition in the heart of Valtellina

The relaxing Castles Trail

Imagine walking a path that weaves together nature, history, and culture—where every step uncovers castles, churches, towers, and ancient sites that tell the story of Valtellina. This is the Sentiero dei Castelli, a fascinating route through eight towns of Central Valtellina, from historic Tirano to Grosio.

The trail is a true exploration of Valtellina’s mountain past. Passing through Tirano, Sernio, Lovero, Tovo di S. Agata, Vervio, Mazzo di Valtellina, and Grosotto, you’ll visit medieval castles, watchtowers, historic churches, and archaeological sites that reveal centuries of local tradition.

The path winds through untouched landscapes—apple orchards, vineyards, chestnut groves, and terraced hills—with unforgettable mountain views. Each stage offers the perfect moment to stop, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and take in the natural beauty only Valtellina can offer.

The trail is designed to be accessible to all types of walkers, with clear signage, info boards, and trail markers to guide your journey.
