Valdidentro (1350 masl) is situated north-west
from Bormio. This valley was an historical crossroads to and from the near
Switzerland and to the other passes beyond the Alps. The Imperial Road of
Alemagna started from here during the Middle Age. In Valdidentro nature is
surprisingly beautiful, skiing is a must and relaxing is supreme: the
enchanting 3439 meters of the Cima Piazzi, the lifts and the ski runs for
alpine skiing and the trails for cross-country skiing, the Ski Stadium "Azzurri
d'Italia" - a sports centre dedicated to Nordic disciplines in winter and
to mountain bike and roller skiing in summer time - the healing thermal waters
of the Bagni Vecchi and the Bagni Nuovi to indulge into, the historical facilities
that toady welcome you by combining the original
lightness of the liberty style with the most suitable treatments. Valdidentro
is all this. And even more: art and culture have distinct features here in this
valley. Visit the precious church of San Gallo of the Fifteenth Century in
Premàdio, the church of the Saints Martino and Urbano in Pedenosso, which
already existed in 1316 and was rebuilt in 1685, and the two lookout towers of
Fraele for the defence of the Count of Bormio, which are situated at the
entrance of the Valle di Fraéle, close to the dam of Cancano and the artificial
lake of San Giacomo.
