What a fabulous place to go. Named as the 7th or 8th toughest mountain climb on a road bike in Europe it’s worthy of its special position. We did it in snow and it made for an amazing adventure. Probably not very clever though on the way down. Watch out it gets incredibly cold on your hands and arms going down hill at speed. And yes we had every kind of top and under garment on! It’s just a killer! Watch out for black ice and be careful with the mountain tunnels! The views are fab but we missed it all due to snow and mist. But we enjoyed it still the same. An amazing adventure you’ll never forget. Enjoy!!
2. Rock Engraving Park of Grosio

Guided tours at 10.30, 14.00 and 16.00! The Rock Engraving Park is a unique combination of the archaeological, architectural, historical and even landscape patrimony of various ages of the Valtellina. The Park was founded in 1978 to conserve, study and develop the Cultural Heritage on the Castle Hill (Dosso dei Castelli). Next to the two castles, the Castello Vecchio (Old Castle) from the 10th-11th century and the Castello Nuovo (New Castle) from the 14th century, even a system of dry-stone terraces, how it is typically for the Valtellina, is surrounding the Castle Hill. But special and singular is the Rupe Magna, a large rock which contains more than 5.000 engraved figures from the 4th to the 1st millennium B.C.

We had an excellent tour with in laws and our 6 and 8 year old children. Gottfried is a knowledgeable and engaging guide, who answered our many questions and kept our children engaged. A beautiful place to be!

This place is wonderful and the most extensive, atmospheric and well-equipped spa I've ever visited. Outside you can spend your time in lovely tiered gardens containing a variety of water pools where you can sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful mountains. There's plenty to do; the swimming pool is a good size and a good spot for sunbathing, or you can lie on a bed immersed in the bubbles of a hydro massage pool, or you can try the mud experience, where you liberally coat yourself in mud, then sit in a heated wooden cabin so it dries on your skin, before washing yourself off under a shower. Your skin feels amazing afterwards. The garden is full of recliners so you can choose where you want to relax and there's plenty of space so you can have privacy, peace and quiet more or less everywhere. In fact the spa carefully regulates the number of people entering at any one time so it never feels crowded. And once you're tired of outside you can move inside where there are a vast amount of things to experience, including a variety of saunas and hydro-massage pools, rain showers and water jets, a relaxing, terraced Roman bath room, a wonderful waterfall room and many other hot/cold water experiences. My personal favourite was a room where you lie on a marble slab in a darkened room, under a warm rain shower. So relaxing! And there are also some really nice 'quiet' rooms where you can simply lie down and relax in silence. And I really recommend having a massage during your visit as I had a full body 50minute massage which was quite simply the best I've ever had. You don't always have to book in advance as they generally have slots available so you can decide when you arrive. However, I was there on a Monday so maybe the massages are more booked up at the weekend. In terms of general amenities, the changing rooms are clean and comfortable with good sized lockers and the toilets and showers are clean. The changing rooms are equipped with hair driers and a good variety of face and body creams for your use. And on arrival you're given a lovely fluffy robe, a towel and plastic flip flops for your stay. The atmosphere in the public areas is nice as the lighting is subdued and the colours very muted so everything contributes towards peace, quiet and relaxation. My only criticism would be that the cafe is over-priced, the food a bit banal and the service interminably slow. But otherwise, this is a spa experience not to be missed and I really recommend giving yourself a full day here as there's so much to enjoy. I planned to stay for three hours but ended up staying six and only had to leave because I had a long drive, otherwise I could have very happily stayed for another hour or so. And it's very good value for money as a lot of spas only allow you to stay for a certain number of hours but here you can enter at 11am and still be there in the evening.

This was such a treat at the end of a hard weeks cycling. Complete and utter relaxation in luxurious surroundings with singly stunning views over bormio and the mountains. Thus is not cheap at 54euros a day but worth every single penny. And worth booking in advance to avoid disappointment. This spa has been the host of Roman's an kings. The oldest parts of the complex date to Roman times. The original roman baths are located at the bottom of the complex and are still open to guests. Inside there are numerous plunge pools, jacuzzis and the garibaldi falls which provide great massage to the neck and shoulders. There are several saunas, a salt room and the old Roman cave where you can swim through a tunnel. Towel, bathrobe and flip flops provided. Entry is for an entire day. Highlight is probably the infinity pool where you can relax with stunning views over the valley. Opens 10-20:00. What a marvellous way to while a way a few hours and relax those aching limbs.
