Webcams in Valtellina
Valtellina's webcams, from Sondrio at 300 metres to Rifugio Marco e Rosa at 3,609 metres: villages, passes and pistes of Lombardy's great alpine valley, with the time of each snapshot always shown.
One valley, but two climates: while the grapes are being harvested down below, it may already be snowing up high.
Other places
The valley
Valtellina is the valley of the Adda: 120 kilometres from Lake Como to the Stelvio Pass, running east to west, parallel to the main alpine ridge. The south-facing side is covered in terraced vineyards held up by 2,500 kilometres of dry stone walls, which produce the mountain Nebbiolo of Valtellina Superiore. The valley floor is low and mild: Sondrio, the main town, sits at just over 300 metres. Then the valley narrows and climbs, and beyond Tirano and Sondalo its character changes: Bormio and Livigno live on snow, and the roads end at the passes. This jump in altitude is exactly what the webcams show.
Getting there
- By car
- The valley road is the SS 38 dello Stelvio: from Colico, at the northern tip of Lake Como, it climbs through Morbegno, Sondrio and Tirano to Bormio. From Milan it is about 200 km. For Livigno you continue on the SS 301 del Foscagno, open all year; in winter, carrying snow chains is compulsory.
- By train
- Trenord's Milan–Tirano line serves the whole valley floor, with stops at Morbegno and Sondrio; the journey from Milano Centrale to Tirano takes about two and a half hours. From Tirano, buses continue to Bormio (about an hour) and Livigno. Also from Tirano, the Rhaetian Railway's Bernina Red Train leaves for Poschiavo and St. Moritz.
- Alpine passes
- Stelvio (2,758 m): closed in winter, usually open from late May to early November. Gavia (2,621 m): usually June to October. Mortirolo (1,852 m): closed in winter. Forcola di Livigno (2,315 m): usually early June to late November. Open all year: Foscagno (2,291 m), Eira (2,208 m), Aprica (1,181 m) and Bernina (2,328 m) on the Swiss side. The pass webcams show the road, they do not certify that it is open: always check official sources.
When to go
The ski season at altitude usually runs from late November to April: Bormio, Livigno and Santa Caterina keep their pistes open longest, and on the Stelvio you ski in summer on the glacier. June to October is the season for the passes, the cycling climbs and the trails of the Stelvio National Park. September and October are the months of the grape harvest on the terraces; in October Morbegno hosts the Mostra del Bitto. May and November are in-between months: lifts closed, passes opening or closing. These are the months when the webcams are most useful.
What to do
Winter
- Stelvio piste, Bormio
- More than three kilometres long with a vertical drop of about 1,000 metres: the World Cup usually comes between Christmas and New Year, and it was the men's Olympic piste at Milano Cortina 2026.
- Livigno
- A basin at 1,816 metres, a duty-free zone, and an Olympic venue in 2026 for snowboarding and freestyle, between Mottolino and Carosello 3000.
- Santa Caterina Valfurva
- The Deborah Compagnoni piste, 3,699 metres long, designed for the 2005 World Championships and named after the champion who grew up here.
- Aprica
- More than 50 km of pistes and the Superpanoramica del Baradello, the longest floodlit piste in Europe.
Summer
- Cycling the Stelvio
- 2,758 metres, the second-highest paved pass in the Alps: 48 hairpins on the South Tyrol side, a legendary Giro d'Italia climb.
- Summer skiing on the Stelvio
- On the glacier, between 2,758 and 3,450 metres, skiing usually runs from late May to early November: national teams train here.
- Cancano lakes
- Above Isolaccia, two reservoirs in the Stelvio National Park reached by a road with 21 hairpins that passes beneath the Torri di Fraele, built in 1391.
- Via dei Terrazzamenti
- The path through the vineyards on the Rhaetian side, from Morbegno to Tirano, among the dry stone walls recognised by UNESCO in 2018.

Each page shows the time of the latest snapshot and a timelapse.
Is the Stelvio Pass open?
The Stelvio closes every winter. The dates are set each year: it usually opens in late May and closes in early November, possibly earlier if it snows. The pass webcam shows conditions on the spot, but for the official opening rely on the announcements from ANAS and the Province of Bolzano.
Which Valtellina passes are open in winter?
Foscagno and Eira (the road to Livigno), Aprica and, on the Swiss side, the Bernina stay open all year, with snow chains compulsory on board in winter. Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo and Forcola close with the snow.
Is there snow in Valtellina now?
It depends on the altitude: the valley ranges from under 300 to over 3,000 metres. Look at the Bormio 3000, Stelvio and Livigno webcams for conditions up high, and at those in Sondrio and Tirano for the valley floor. In the villages of Bormio and Livigno there is usually snow from December to March.
How do you get to Valtellina without a car?
On Trenord's Milan–Tirano train, which stops at Morbegno and Sondrio. From Tirano there are buses to Bormio and Livigno and the Bernina Red Train to St. Moritz.
When is the best time to visit Valtellina?
For skiing, December to March at altitude. For the passes and cycling, June to September. For the vineyards, September and October, when the grapes are harvested on the terraces; in October Morbegno hosts the Mostra del Bitto.
