This itinerary, which begins in Valmaconica, in the province of Brescia, goes all the way up to the beauties of the Valtellina. Its landscapes are representative of the types of landscapes found in the Alps. Discover the ancient villages and flavours of Valtellina, through its history, gastronomic culture, with favourites like a good plate of typical salami or sciatt and the famous pizzoccheri.

The path starts from the San Giacomo di Tellio train station and ends at the Edolo train station. From San Giacomo, you'll arrive at an intersection with Carona. Take the road, with numerous hairpin-turns that will almost bring us to the centre of Carona. Just before the village turn left and take the road that goes downhill, in the direction of Aprica. The road continues downhill until reaching the hydro-electric plant of Gadda. The road goes back uphill and emerges onto the state road, just before Aprica. After approximately 100 meters you'll reach the old road on the right, via Liscidini. This century-old road will bring you to the border of the Province of Brescia. From here the Valeriana road leads you to Edolo.
