The church of SasselloPhoto: Pro Loco Bormio, Valtellina Outdoor
Easy and charming experience connecting the historic center of Bormio with the lush Valfurva.
Along the route, which follows the Frodolfo river and cycle paths, you will have the opportunity to discover unique contrasts between the unspoiled nature and the rich historical-cultural heritage of the area. You can admire ancient churches, such as the Church of the Holy Crucifix and the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Sassello, before reaching the village of Uzza in Valfurva, then returning to Bormio and its imposing Church of Saints Gervasio and Protasio.
