De beste Mountainbike-paden in Valmalenco

Valmalenco wedges into the western Rhaetian Alps; more precisely, it divides the Bernina Alps in two, leaving the Val Bregaglia Mountains to the west and the Scalino Group and the Bernina Massif to the east.

Valmalenco is the ideal starting point for hikes and to cross the Bernina, Disgrazia and Scalino ranges. It is also an etape that can't be missed in the route that links Valtellina to Val Bregaglia in Switzerland through the Muretto pass. Among wonderful pastures, alpine lakes, woods, quarries and crossings, majestic glaciers can be admired.

The Alpe Palù ski resort offers 60 km of slopes suitable for skiers at all levels, that can be reached from Chiesa in one of the biggest cable cars in the world - the Snow Eagle - or from San Giuseppe thanks to a fast covered chairlift. The Palù Park hosts important events, such as the snowboard and freestyle ski World Cup finals and the World

Junior Championships, while Cross-country skiers enjoy the natural tracks around the Palù lake, in San Giuseppe and the lit track in Lanzada. Within the boarders of Chiesa there is a small village, developed on a hillock at an elevation of 1300 m a.s.l., that dominates the valley. It also has a Sanctuary to which miracles are attributed.
