Valchiavenna
If there is a special place that must absolutely be visited in any season, that is Daloo. A place with a panorama unmatched in the whole valley, offering enchanting views to be admired patiently.
Daloo is reached on foot starting from Chiavenna, taking the path that climbs from Pianazzola. Until the 1950s, Daloo was inhabited all year round. Here, the school and parish were active, and the community was mainly engaged in agriculture and livestock farming, tending this place like a garden. Today, as then, the meadows that stretch behind the little church are perfectly maintained. The houses encountered along the path crossing the core have almost all been renovated and restored, livable with all modern comforts. The end point of every excursion is the magnificent viewpoint overlooking Chiavenna, from which it is possible to look south as far as Lake Mezzola and east along the entire Swiss Val Bregaglia.
