skiing Santa Caterina - sun, snow and dolce vita!

The region Sondrio is found in Lombardy and astounds with its varied landscape. The panoramic view from the peak of the local range or the Forni glacier is very impressive. The many vineyards and the surrounding hillside area invite guests to take a romantic walk through the lovely winter landscape. Numerous nature reserves guarantee an impressive natural spectacle. Particularly lovely is the Stelvio National Park. Here, beneath the Ortler mountains and the "Alta Valtellina" ski area, three valleys meet. The Valdidentro, Valfurva and Valdisotto. Whether sport, culture, shopping or relaxation in the thermal oasis - guests get their money's worth in Sondrio. Santa Caterina - sun, snow and dolce vita!

Santa Caterina Valfurva is a small and tranquil village at an altitude of 1,730 m. It is situated close to the Swiss border, in the middle of the fairytale scenery of the Lombardy Alps. It is also nestled in the protected area of the Stilfserjoch National Park. Families especially will feel right at home. Santa Caterina was not just the venue for the ladies' descent in the 2005 world championships, but also the home of the 3-time Olympic winner Deborah Compagnoni. The altitude, as well as diverse snow cannons, ensure a high level of snow security! The location is ideal for all skiers, as Santa Caterina is situated directly on the piste. You can ski from Monte Sobretta, which lies at an altitude of 2,775 m directly into the resort centre. In the background, the panorama is dominated by the summits of the Ortler Mountains and the "Himalaya like" Forni glacier. Due to its predominantly challenging pistes and cross-country ski trails, Santa Caterina is also a popular destination among cross-country skiers and the host of many important international cross-country races.
