A project that tells the story of the Valle Spluga in all its forms

The Ecomuseo ValleSpluga, established on March 25, 2011, by the Consorzio Corti e Acero, is located in the Museum of the Via Spluga and the Val San Giacomo in Campodolcino. The project embraces the entire Valle Spluga, up to the Passo dello Spluga, and was created with the aim of enhancing the cultural, social, and environmental identity of this alpine territory.

It is a dynamic and widespread museum: not just exhibitions but also paths, events, thematic points, and ecomuseum stations, designed to showcase the valley in an authentic, respectful, and sustainable way.

🧭 What the Ecomuseum offers

The ecomuseum develops around the key themes of alpine culture and mountain life, exploring the deep bond between man and the territory.

🎯 Its activities aim to:

• Preserve and reinterpret local traditions
• Enhance the historical, artistic, religious, and environmental heritage
• Engage residents and tourists in a participatory cultural experience
• Promote forms of sustainable tourism

The Ecomuseum has identified 14 thematic itineraries that allow exploration of the valley's territory in all its nuances:

• 🍂 Chestnut groves in the valley floor: rural landscapes and mountain agriculture
• 🏔 Alpine meadows: pastures, huts, and panoramic views of the peaks
• 🌲 Pine forests and larch forests: century-old woods and biodiversity
