About Vicosoprano
Vicosoprano, at 1,067 metres, is the largest village in the Val Bregaglia and was once the valley's main one, seat of its high court and its transport cooperative. Since 2010 it has been part of the municipality of Bregaglia. Most residents speak Italian, often the local Lombard dialect. The old core keeps the 13th-century Senvelen round tower with its pillory, the six-storey Salis tower and a medieval bridge over the Maira. The homes are in and close to the village. A dairy, a bakery, a butcher and a grocery cover self-catering, and evenings are very quiet.
