Chiesa in Valmalenco

Chiesa Valmalenco is the main turist destination of Valmalenco, both in Summer and Winter. It was developed where the valley divides into two cracks: one heading towards the higher part of the valley, at the feet of Mount Disgrazia, and the other one towards the Lanterna valley and Piz Bernina (4050 m).
