Tips

Valchiavenna Turismo

March 28, 2022

Ancient facades with paintings of great charm and significant importance, fountains and portals in soapstone, decorated with floral and geometric motifs, are the elements that characterize the fascinating historic center of Chiavenna.

There are numerous loggias that overlook the Mera river and the architectural preciousness to be discovered wandering through the streets of the village; hidden courtyards and gardens such as the Córt di àsen represent characteristic corners that have remained intact over time.

An historic centre, dating back to the 16th century, already surrounded by Sforza walls, still partly visible, which bears witness to how rich and important Chiavenna was at the time of great trade with central Europe.

Chiavenna, a charming municipality in Lombardy, Italy, stands out for its rich historical and cultural heritage. The narrow cobbled streets, colorful houses and picturesque squares give the village a medieval and Renaissance charm. Places of interest include the Roman excavations, the majestic Palazzo Vertemate Franchi and the spectacular Acquafraggia waterfalls. Positioned between the Alps, Chiavenna offers an ideal environment for excursions and winter sports, also boasting a renowned local cuisine with specialties such as pizzoccheri and bresaola. In 2022, the Valchiavenna Cycle Path received 3rd prize at the Italian Green Road Awards.
