Tips

The Torri di Fraele are signal towers, placed to defend the pass of the same name in 1391. One of the towers is well preserved, and is a coveted stopping point at the top of one of the most iconic and tiring climbs in all of Valtellina. The towers cannot be visited but the panorama that opens before the eyes repays the effort.

Not very hard climb (at 6%) which leads to the towers of Fraele and the lakes of Cancano.

A really demanding climb with more than 20% sections. You reach the lakes of Cancano.
