Caspoggio, a hidden paradise

Caspoggio in winter
Caspoggio in winter

Last weekend we skied in the beautiful Caspoggio, a resort overlooking the landscape of Valmalenco and Bernina.
It is a village rich in history, full of suggestive alleys typical of the seventeenth century; the village still retains a lot of charm, thanks to the development and spread of small, often simple rustic buildings.

Caspoggio offers the opportunity to enjoy a landscape consistsing of large meadows and pine forests, which in winter become ski slopes. The ski resort of Caspoggio can be reached from the most known Chiesa Valmalenco, a tourist center both in summer and winter. Given the shape of the tracks and especially thanks to the excellent professionalism achieved by the industry, Caspoggio is regularly home to international ski championships.
Caspoggio has seven ski lifts, two chair lifts, and has a diverse choice in 20 km of downhill ski runs, and 35 km of ski trails.
The descents are accessible to different levels of skills. Even the tracks still retain the old charm, thanks to the slow chairlifts carrying skiers from the 1100 meters of the town up to the 2000 meters of Dosso dei Galli. The slopes are few but the right-most watching the mountain is very long and exciting, allowing you to ski between breathtaking walls and even through the houses of ancient villages. Breathtaking!

For those who wish to dedicate to other winter sports Caspoggio meets their needs with indoor swimming pools, skating rinks, tennis and volleyball courts.
Caspoggio, as well as other mountain resorts that are in the area, is nestled in a pristine natural environment, a landscape characterized by snow, pine trees and snowy peaks. Caspoggio is not a popular destination, for this reason there are few skiers on the slopes, making it even more exciting descent. Surely we will return to ski in top condition and in peace!

The Chapel of Madonna Annunziata, known as Madonna della Rocca because the statue depicting the Virgin kneeling at a lectern holds the conocchia in his left hand (fortress in local dialect). The chapel was built in about 1713 and was to be part of a series of 15 chapels dedicated to the mysteries of the Rosary that were supposed to compose a sacred path along the Via Valerian and end at the church of Madonna della Sassella. The chapel has been recently restored.

The Park covers almost the entire southern slope of Valtellina with an altitude between 2000-3000m. The woods are different like deciduous and chestnut groves at lower altitudes and classic needles at just higher altitudes up to the alpine prairies rich in typical flora and in summer “crowded” of herds in the mountain pastures where the most delicious cheeses in Valtellina are born. As for the fauna, we can say that it is typical Alpine: deer, roe deer, ibex and also the populations of tetraonids, such as the Capercock, not surprisingly the symbol of the Park.
