Routes

The first stop is the tower of Teglio Castle (893 m a.s.l.), offering a stunning panoramic view of much of the Valtellina valley. From the hill, descend toward Palazzo Besta until the road on the left becomes a trail, leading to the Church of St. Anthony and then to the hamlet of Vangione (trail marker no. 306).
Continuing in the same direction, pass through the hamlet and reach the locality of La Sella (620 m a.s.l.), a wine-growing area known for Valgella. Skirting a gentle hill almost entirely to the right, a small bridge crosses a stream—this marks the beginning of the ascent back.
At the Church of St. John, turn right and follow signs for Teglio. You’ll pass through the locality of Capitel and then climb the panoramic ridge of Dos de la Forca, where prehistoric cup-marks are still visible on the rocks.
After crossing the long ridge, descend toward Teglio through wide meadows and fields often cultivated with buckwheat. Once on the paved road, follow it right for about a hundred meters, then turn left onto a farm track through the fields, which leads back to Teglio.
