The fifth stage of the Sentiero del Viandante starts at the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Valpozzo in Piantedo and ends in Morbegno near the train station. From the Sanctuary of Valpozzo, we continue westward, and after passing the rural courtyards of Piodella, Piganzoli, and Cà di Pinoli, we officially enter the lower Valtellina valley. We pass to the right of the Dosso della Scaiola, going up to the bridge over the Madriasco stream, which marks the border between the municipalities of Piantedo and Delebio. After passing the built-up area of Tavani, the trail climbs into the forest, giving us splendid views of the valley floor to the south and the Piano di Spagna Nature Reserve to the northeast.
After moving beyond the rustic buildings and the magnificent clearing of Nogheredo, we take the road at the crossroads that descends toward Casale di Delebio. Upon crossing the bridge over the Lesina river, we enter Andalo Valtellino along the ancient Via Pedemonte, and after passing the local church, we head up into the woods to reach the hamlet of Rogolo. The path leads directly into the village of Rogolo, offering the possibility of exploring its religious monuments and ancient fountains. Beyond the San Giorgio stream, the town of Cosio Valtellino begins. After passing the houses of Piagno, we enter the woods heading toward the ruins of the Abbey of Vallate, where at the crossroads we follow path number 6 in the direction of Dossa.
After walking through a beautiful wooded area, we cross the Strada Provinciale 7 of Val Gerola and follow it uphill for about 700 meters (2,300 feet), taking the path to the right upon arriving near Canleggia. Climbing up to Roncale and reaching Quiete, the path guides us into the scenic Bitto valley. Upon arriving at the church of San Bernardo (St. Bernard), we find ourselves at the gates of the village of Sacco, where the famous museum of the Homo Salvadego (Wild Man) stands. Near the church of San Lorenzo (St. Lawrence) in Sacco, we follow the historical mule track descending toward Morbegno. Once we enter the town and cross the bridge over the Bitto stream, we pass through the historic center to arrive at the train station, where this final stage of the Sentiero del Viandante concludes.
