Castel Grumello
Two twin castles featuring a balcony with a unique view over the Valtellina valley

Set high on a cliff-top, against the stunning backdrop of the Rhaetian Alps, there stands a 13th-century fortress that constitutes a rare example of a “twin” castle – two mirror-image buildings united by a section of wall.

• from March to September: 10 am – 6 pm
