Historic Trails and Connections to San Martino

An old access path beside the Chiesa di San Pietro leads through a stone archway into the historic centre of Cataeggio. For those interested in culture, this section marks a specific point in Cataeggio’s historic centre. The Sentiero dei Borghi follows paths in the lower valley that were once used by residents for their daily journeys. The area therefore has a trail tradition that combines walks with a view of the valley’s former everyday structure. A map of the Sentiero dei Borghi is available from the Val Masino Infopoint and the Consorzio Turistico Porte di Valtellina in Morbegno.

There are also specific connections for active exploration: a cycle path connects Cataeggio and Filorera with San Martino. The Cataeggio–Filorera–San Martino connection provides a clear geographical framework for planning an active excursion. The route from Cataeggio to San Martino passes through the plain of Sasso di Remenno.

Landscape Between Monolith and Peaks

Sasso Remenno is considered Europe’s largest monolith and is a destination for many climbers. At Sasso Remenno, the monolith and climbing destination come together in one place. The nearby area also includes Cima di Granda, Monte Pesconfio, Cima d'Arcanzo and Cima del Cavalcorto, each of them a peak. The nearby peaks expand landscape planning beyond the individual monolith.
