Sport, nature and taste. These are just some of the reasons that lead more and more people to choose the mountains as a destination for the summer season.
Among the many Italian destinations, the Valtellina stands out for its varied landscape, for the possibility of practising a variety of sports, and last but not least, for its local flavours, which also attract visitors from abroad.
Sport, nature and taste: the Valtellina is the perfect destination
Sport at amateur and competitive level as well as contact with nature: those who need to regenerate from hectic city life are looking for clean air and opportunities for outdoor activities. Two fundamental aspects for a person's psychophysical well-being that find in the Valtellina the perfect destination to be satisfied.
Moreover, the experiences that the mountains, and our valley in particular, can offer visitors are truly unique: from trekking to mountain bike excursions, from relaxing spas to visits to alpine pastures and malgas, and much more.
Taste is precisely one of the aspects most sought after by those who choose Valtellina. Here, tradition and innovation come together to offer special products: from skilfully handed down local recipes to cheeses and cured meats with a unique aroma and flavour.
A picnic at high altitude with Mottolini products
Reach your destination after a nice outing and treat yourself to a picnic at high altitude with traditional Valtellina products: an unforgettable experience between taste, the pleasure of clean mountain air and the wonderful views of our valley.
So organise your picnic lunch with a good sandwich, malga cheese and Mottolini cold cuts: a truly exceptional combination!
From the traditional Bresaola della Valtellina IGP to the tasty Casereccia, passing by Fiocco, mountain ham, speck and many other specialities: you'll be spoilt for choice to make a perfect lunch at high altitude.
You can find Mottolini salumi already sliced in bags, which we invite you to take back down to the valley after the experience, at Le Rocce Market in Poggiridenti, in Chiesa in Valmalenco and in the best shops in Valtellina.
Another tasty reason to choose Valtellina as your summer holiday destination is the #DestinazioneBresaola project. The 2024 edition, #ValtellinaNascosta, promoted as always by the Consorzio di Tutela della Bresaola della Valtellina IGP (Consortium for the Protection of PGI Valtellina Bresaola), includes 15 secret destinations in the Valley to discover and appreciate with all 5 senses and no less than 21 Bresaola experience points.
In addition to Le Rocce Market in Poggiridenti, you can enjoy an excellent aperitif with our Bresaola as the protagonist at Ristoro Castel Grumello in Montagna in Valtellina.
