The slopes of Dosso dei Castelli provide a privileged view of one of Valtellina\u2019s most iconic agricultural traditions: the dry-stone terraced vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>Before you finish your visit, be sure to admire the view from Rupe Magna\u2014a breathtaking mountain panorama where the majestic chestnut trees surrounding the area showcase the timeless beauty of Valtellina.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"122\"><strong data-start=\"68\" data-end=\"78\">Visits<\/strong><br data-start=\"78\" data-end=\"81\" \/><strong data-start=\"81\" data-end=\"120\">GUIDED TOUR \u201cDiscovering the Park\u201d:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"408\">\n<li data-start=\"124\" data-end=\"222\">\n<p data-start=\"126\" data-end=\"222\">From May 1 to July 8: Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays at 10:30 AM, 2:00 PM, and 4:00 PM;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"327\">\n<p data-start=\"225\" data-end=\"327\">From July 8 to November 1: Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays at 10:30 AM, 11:00 AM, and 4:00 PM;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"328\" data-end=\"408\">\n<p data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"408\">From November 2 to December 31: Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"451\">Booking the guided tour is recommended.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"464\"><strong data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"462\">Rates<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"570\">\n<li data-start=\"465\" data-end=\"494\">\n<p data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"494\">Adults (&gt;18 years): \u20ac6.00<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"532\">\n<p data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"532\">Young people (11\u201318 years): \u20ac3.00<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"570\">\n<p data-start=\"535\" data-end=\"570\">Free for children under 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"703\">For large groups or parties, please contact the office at least 48 hours before arriving at the Park to arrange a dedicated tour.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I colli tra Grosio e Grosotto sono custodi di un\u2019eredit\u00e0 inestimabile che racconta il passaggio di antiche popolazioni nella Valtellina: il Parco delle Incisioni Rupestri.
