Valdidentro

The cluster sits in the Rhaetian Alps; the Ortles-Cevedale massif and high alpine terrain are within the 15 km radius. Lago di Cancano and the hydroelectric reservoirs in the Valdidentro/Cancano valley lie inside the municipality and within 15 km. Parts of Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio (Stelvio National Park) and the Ortles-Cevedale group occupy the surrounding high ground. The Stelvio Pass and the network of high mountain roads that serve the Ortles sector are in the same alpine sector. The nearest major ski lifts and pistes are at Bormio (Bormio Ski Area, Bormio 2000), roughly a 10–20 minute drive from Valdidentro’s main settlements. The nearby town of Bormio provides thermal baths, lift infrastructure, shops and restaurants; the provincial capital Sondrio lies roughly 60 km to the south. The area is known for high-mountain winter sports, summer hiking, thermal springs (Bormio) and the hydroelectric reservoirs (Cancano) within Valtellina.
