2. Walks and hikes for everyone
Whether you're up for a mountain trail or a gentle lakeside walk, Valchiavenna offers a wide range of paths suitable for every pace.
Some of the most loved include the cycle-pedestrian path along Lake Mezzola, the Tracciolino trail, and hikes in Val di Mello. Summer is the perfect time to soak in the scent of the woods, listen to the sound of mountain streams, and discover hidden corners of pure beauty.
3. Relax by the lake
There are plenty of great spots for a refreshing dip or simply relaxing in the sun: Lake Mezzola is a peaceful natural gem, perfect for a day of unwinding. Alternatively, rent a canoe or SUP board and enjoy the lake from a whole new and scenic perspective.
4. Discovering local flavours
After an active day, there’s nothing better than sitting down to savour the authentic tastes of the region.
Just a short walk from Hotel Saligari, Ristorante La Trela is the go-to place for those seeking Valtellina cuisine, fish and meat dishes, and one of the best pizzas in the province. With its beautiful terrace overlooking the lake and the culinary skill of chef Mario Saligari, every meal becomes an experience to remember.
