Chiesa in Valmalenco

Chiesa in Valmalenco occupies the upper Valmalenco valley in Lombardy’s Province of Sondrio. The Mallero River runs through this Alpine valley, which rises toward the Bernina Alps near the Swiss border. The town is a base for reaching Alpe Palù, a high-altitude area known for its lake, ski slopes and summer walking routes. Valmalenco has long been associated with the extraction and working of soapstone and serpentine, materials that remain part of its local identity. The parish church of San Giacomo is a focal point in the historic centre, while surrounding hamlets retain the compact form of mountain settlements.
