Welcome to Valsassina: the valley where nature, tradition and beauty meet


An authentic journey into the green heart of Lecco's Pre-Alps

There is a valley, squeezed between legendary mountains and silent forests, that for centuries has guarded landscapes, flavours and traditions capable of enchanting anyone who sets foot in it: this is the Valsassina, the green lung of the province of Lecco. Here, just a few minutes from the lake but immersed in a completely different context, time slows down, panoramas open up and every corner tells a story.

This section of the portal is entirely dedicated to discovering Valsassina: a complete, emotional and practical guide for those who wish to truly experience it, organising a holiday that combines nature, relaxation, sport and culture. There is no need to be expert mountaineers or tireless travellers: Valsassina is for everyone, you just need to know how to listen.

The Wonders of Valsassina

Spectacular mountains
From the Grigna Settentrionale (the Northern Grignone) to the Grignetta, from the Piani di Bobbio to the Pizzo dei Tre Signori, every peak offers thrills, dizzying views and trails for every level. The air is crisp, the silences deep, the sky closer.

Authentic and hospitable villages
Barzio, Pasturo, Introbio, Primaluna, Taceno, Margno... villages where stone merges with wood, where the bell tower soars among the peaks and the rhythm of life is still that of the seasons. Here the tourist is not a number, but a guest.

A valley for all seasons
In summer, it is the realm of trekking, mountain biking, forest walks and picnics in the pastures. In winter, the ski slopes of Piani di Bobbio and Artavaggio welcome families and sports enthusiasts. In autumn, the woods burst with colour. In spring, flower-filled meadows perfume the air with freedom.

Culture and ancient flavours
From cheese dairies to artisan workshops, from small museums to sanctuaries immersed in tranquillity, the Valsassina proudly tells of its identity. And then there are the alpine cheeses, fresh butter, pizzoccheri, polenta, home-made jams... a journey for the palate too.

Unforgettable experiences
From guided hikes to discover refuges to horseback riding, from markets of typical products to village festivals, every day in Valsassina can offer a new experience. The portal collects and updates them, with proposals always ready to be experienced.
