Valtellina Wine trail

The 42km starts in the historic center of Tirano, at the Madonna di Tirano you face the panoramic and short climb that leads to the Church of Santa Perpetua, and from here, in a maze of historic paths created on dry stone walls that overlook the villages of Villa and Bianzone and the cellar Zanolari, we arrive at the elegant Tenuta la Gatta, a pearl in the middle of the Nebbiolo rows, which the competitors cross before facing the first important roughness of the day: the climb of Boalzo and Torre de li Beli Miri di Teglio (Km 18). From the town of Teglio, proceed downhill to reach km 24 in Chiuro, the starting point of the half marathon, with which it shares the route.

The shortest race starts from Castione Andevenno and crosses the Sassella vineyards in a latch, with passages inside the cellars, and a short distance from the rock engravings of Castione in the locality of Ganda. From Triasso the route proceeds towards Sondrio, where it descends in the locality of Gombaro and then arrives in Piazza Garibaldi.

From Chiuro to Sondrio on the terraces of Valgella, Inferno and Grumello The two paths intersect on the bridge of Val Fontana, just before entering the largest winery in Valtellina, the Nino Negri. Once you leave the Negri winery, you start climbing again, this time along easy dirt roads and through the villages and apple orchards of Ponte Valtellina, up to the bridge of the Ròn valley (km 28). & Nbsp; After two kilometers, you cross the village of Tresivio, to enter the sub-wine area of ​​Hell, with short but intense ups and downs in the wine-growing area of ​​Poggiridenti. The finish line is no longer very far away, but the last seven kilometers still have some short roughnesses, before reaching Montagna di Valtellina and therefore its Castel Grumello, a real spectacle a stone's throw from Sondrio. After passing the Castle, after the last short climb, you can enjoy the final walkway on the Dossi Salati, another land of fine Valtellina wines, and then the short swoop on Sondrio that leads into the nightlife of the city, in Piazza Garibaldi. roughness, before reaching Montagna di Valtellina and then its Castel Grumello, a real spectacle a stone's throw from Sondrio.
