[edit] Understand
The Sondrio province is a mountainous region with lush green valleys in summer and isolated white gorges in winter. Lombardia is not as well advertised as the Sud-Tirol/Bolzano area of the Italian Alps yet it is just as scenic and tourist ready. The province borders Switzerland to the north and the plains of Italy to the south.
[edit] Talk
- Italian, in remoter areas some of the residents may not speak anything else.
- German, towards the border with Switzerland
- Romansch, much of Sondrio borders with the Romansch speaking area of Grisons
[edit] Get in
Milan, being the nearest large city has the closest international airport, either Malpenza or Linate, the later is nearer.
