Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful - and this is still in our DNA today. Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. Lombardy is also a well respected, but low profile, wine producing region, meaning there are several routes that could include a tasting session at a winery. A classic Lombardian rifugio dish is a rich cheesy polenta served with beef stew, best accompanied with lots of red wine or beer. Branzi, Taleggio, Formai du Mut, Strachitunt and Bitto are all produced in the popular hiking region of Valtellina. For example, cheese made at the local ‘malghe’ (alpine cottages) comes from the cows and sheep that graze on the surrounding land. They typically serve hearty regional recipes and offer the opportunity to try local produce. On both major and minor hiking trails walkers will come across traditional ‘rifugios’ and ‘baitas’ – small, rustic restaurants with basic lodgings for hikers who want to divide their walk with an overnight stop. But arguably one of the best things about hiking in Lombardy is that your active holiday can also become a gastronomic excursion. You can also walk through shady alpine forests with babbling streams and the national parks are home to wildlife such as steinbocks and eagles. This makes for breath-taking vistas of verdant valleys dotted with quaint alpine huts, majestic snow-capped peaks and glittering bodies of water. Most of the hiking opportunities in Lombardy are centred around the region’s stunning lakes and the hills of the pre-alps.
