Hike to Pizzo Tre Signori

Embrace the summit of one of Valtellina’s most symbolic peaks

 

In a class of its own, the peak of Pizzo Tre Signori is one of the Valtellina’s most iconic mountains for a reason: now at the intersection of three regions of Lombardy (Bergamo, Como and Sondrio), it used to represent the border between the Republic of Venice, the Duchy of Milan and the Republic of Graubünden. These days, it makes a great hike.
