Violet Path - From Semogo to Bormio

The Violet Path offers a charming experience for enthusiasts of walking and cycling in the Upper Valtellina. Over 10 km long, this cycle-pedestrian route starts from Semogo, Valdidentro, and extends to Bormio. Accessible to all, it allows you to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty and integrates perfectly with the Valtellina Path, starting from the Pentagon in Bormio.

The recent completion of the Violet Path towards Bormio makes Upper Valtellina an ideal option for those seeking tranquility outdoors, away from vehicle traffic.

Starting from the Semogo sports center area, next to the cemetery on the right side, there is an initial downhill stretch of cycle-pedestrian track to the first bridge that leads to the valley floor. This route, known as the "Violet Path," takes its name from the homonymous watercourse crossing the valley. After crossing a second bridge, the path continues on the left side, with the "La Presura" sports area as the first point of interest on the right side as soon as the first houses of Isolaccia are reached; the route continues in the direction passing the village of Isolaccia to then reach the hamlet of Pedenosso, passing near the Rasin Power Plant and ending at the Ski Stadium on Via Azzurri d'Italia.

The most recently completed section starts from the Ski Stadium, crosses the bridge, and moves to the left bank of the river, passing shortly after near the Motte roundabout to then reach the "Sughetto" locality, where an ancient stone bridge with distinctive charm is crossed. A short stretch along the right bank offers views of the village of Fior d'Alpe, then crosses a new bridge which, after a slight downhill stretch, allows access to the "Planecc" sports area in Premadio.

From here, the path continues on a not yet paved stretch that passes through a pine forest at the edges of the A2A water intake, then crosses the Viola stream once again and joins the cycle path that descends from the San Gallo Church and heads towards the end of the route near the Pentagon area of Bormio. From this point, the Valtellina Path begins, following the course of the Adda river and stretching to Colico.
