Sondalo

Sondalo straddles the Adda River in Lombardy’s upper Valtellina, and its position on this Alpine valley route has tied the settlement to the wider Valtellina corridor. Steep mountain sides rise from the cultivated valley floor, while the upper valley leads towards Stelvio National Park, one of Italy’s largest protected mountain areas. The town is closely associated with the Morelli Sanatorium, a substantial rationalist-era complex originally built for tuberculosis treatment; its hillside location reflects the medical thinking of its day. Sondalo also lies on the route between Tirano and Bormio, revealing the working, lived-in character of the upper valley.
