Barzio

Few towns in Lombardy have a history as closely tied to mountain tourism as Barzio. Set in Valsassina beneath the Grigne massif, it lies in an Alpine valley shaped by the Pioverna River. The cable car leaving Barzio climbs to Piani di Bobbio, a high-altitude area used for skiing in winter and walking when the snow recedes. Holidays and second homes for residents of Milan and nearby Brianza have long helped define the town, giving its centre the character of an established mountain resort. Local food traditions and the changing mountain seasons remain part of daily life. Move on to other webcams in Lombardy to compare Alpine valleys and town settings around Barzio.
