Probably the greatest experience for anybody coming to Morbegno are the local wineries, all hidden within age-old stone walls. To celebrate this heritage, the city organizes every year the so-called “Morbegno in Cantina” event when anybody can enjoy and discover the wine legacy of the region. Morbegno is a good destination for any of us though!

However, besides being on a to-do list of many locals and foreigners it is also a very good strategic spot for lovers of active sports and mountain adventures. It is, in fact, the ideal starting point for excursions toward Val Masino famous for climbing and Val Gerola that offers nice ski slopes attended especially by snowboard enthusiasts.
