Holiday apartment in Caiolo: cycling route, San Vittore and aviation operations

Caiolo is a destination for a variety of holiday experiences. The Sentiero Valtellina runs through Caiolo and is suitable for leisurely walks and cycling tours.

Mountain bike route from Caiolo to the Fienili Arale

The Caiolo–Val Cervia mountain bike route starts in Caiolo and ends at the Fienili Arale in Val Cervia. At the Fienili Arale, the route reaches an altitude of 1,620 metres. For planning your own day, this route remains clearly defined: Caiolo is the starting point, and the Fienili Arale in Val Cervia is the fixed destination. The altitude of 1,620 metres adds a specific figure to this planning framework. Those who make cycling a priority can distinguish between the Sentiero Valtellina, which runs through Caiolo, and the mountain bike route into Val Cervia.

Aviation in Caiolo: daytime operations and international traffic

The Aviosuperficie di Caiolo is approved for daytime operations involving tourist and sport flights. The Aviosuperficie di Sondrio, which is located within the municipality of Caiolo, is open to international traffic. A two-seat L23 Super Blanik training glider with the civil registration D-1643 is used for the flight hours. Tourist and sport flights, as well as the two-seat L23 Super Blanik training glider, constitute the specific aviation connection in Caiolo.

San Vittore between architecture and gorge

The parish church of San Vittore was rebuilt and enlarged in 1617 on the ruins of an earlier medieval church, taking on its present form supported by powerful arcades. The year 1617 thus refers to the rebuilding and enlargement of the present church, not to the construction of the first church. Those interested in architectural history will find in San Vittore an earlier medieval church as its predecessor and a present form dating from 1617.

Outside Caiolo, the church of San Vittore stands on a rocky spur above a gorge; below it flows the Livrio stream. San Vittore can be reached on foot via a mule track after crossing a small bridge over the stream. The path section is therefore an immediate part of visiting this distinctively situated building.

Mule track and rural settlement centre

A rural settlement centre lies a little beyond Contrada Pedrini on the way from Caiolo to the church of Sant'Antero and is accessed via a mule track. This gives you another opportunity to get to know Caiolo via smaller paths and an understated local character.

Golf as another sporting option

The Valtellina Golf Club offers a driving range, a putting green, and the hire of golf equipment, golf carts and trolleys. Alongside walks, cycling tours and the mountain bike route, this also adds practice and golfing facilities to the sporting options that you can include in your travel plans.
