More and more athletes are turning to ski mountaineering to get their kicks! Among the numerous upper regions of Valchiavenna that attract a committed group of enthusiasts every springtime, the magnificent peaks that surround Montespluga prove irresistible year on year. The village is the perfect setting out point for any number of excursions with routes suitable for competitive athletes of differing levels of ability. From March onwards, the small village which forms part of the Madesimo municipality plays host to visitors who can mix sports and nature itself, appreciating original and magnificent panorama and enjoying generously mild weather.

Favourite destinations include Pizzo Tambò (3279 m.), Pizzo Tamborello (2862 m.), Pizzo Ferrè (2770 m.) and Pizzo Suretta (3027 m.).

Anyone wishing to undertake an exhilarating outing in complete safety might consider contacting the Valchiavenna Alpine Guide Association who frequently organise outings for individuals or groups, following the routes most suitable to the prevailing conditions and the technical expertise of the athletes themselves.
