Madesimo

Madesimo has served as an alpine resort in Lombardy since the early 20th century. It occupies the upper Valle Spluga in the Lepontine Alps, below the Swiss border and the Splügen Pass, with Pizzo Groppera rising above the resort. Winter sports define its modern identity, while summer brings walkers and cyclists to the high valley and toward Lago di Montespluga. The Via Spluga, a long-established route between Chiavenna and Switzerland, gives the area a tangible transalpine context; its itinerary passes through Madesimo on the climb towards the pass. Stone-built hamlets and mountain pastures retain the character of a settlement shaped by altitude and seasonal travel.
