Understand

The Sondrio province is a hidden gem nestled in the majestic Italian Alps. This mountainous region is characterized by lush green valleys during the summer and breathtaking isolated white gorges in winter. While Lombardia may not receive as much attention as the well-advertised Sud-Tirol/Bolzano area, it is equally scenic and tourist-ready. Located on the northern border of Italy, Sondrio province shares its boundaries with Switzerland to the north and the expansive plains of Italy to the south. This unique position allows visitors to experience the best of both worlds - the rugged beauty of the Alps and the charming Italian countryside. With its picturesque landscapes and abundant outdoor activities, Lombardia is a destination that captures the essence of Italy's natural splendor.
