Programme of the day
From Delebio station, we follow the course of the Lesina stream to the historic centre of Andalo Valtellino. A stretch of forest and we enter another very pretty historic village: Rogolo. Here the road begins to climb, and our efforts are soon repaid as we reach the splendid abbey of San Pietro in Vallate, a Romanesque building dating from 1078, home of the Cluniac monks. A brief stop and we continue uphill to Dossa, a small picturesque village where a splendid agritourism awaits us! Time for refreshments, then it’s all downhill, an easy path through the woods among ancient buildings, streams and small bridges, until we reach Cosio where we return to Delebio by train (€1.90) (those who came by train can continue the journey to Lecco).
