The Vineyard Route
Chiuro - Sondrio - Berbenno di Valtellina
The Vineyard Route (Via dei terrazzamenti) is a 70-kilometre pedestrian and cycle path linking Morbegno and Tirano, the lower and the middle valley, at 300 to 700 metres a.s.l., halfway up the Rhaetian slopes, with terraced vineyards and a valuable cultural heritage. Along the way are 40 rest areas with benches, bike rests and info panels about nearby artistic heritage sites.
We suggest those wanting to follow parts of the trail by bike, to choose a MTB or an E-bike, because the frequent ups and downs demand attention and great physical efforts.
