Discover Valtellina ski areas: 400 kilometers
of downhill ski-slopes, snow-parks and
baby parks in the heart of the Alps. In Valtellina there are plenty
of tourist resorts where you can enjoy sport surrounded by picturesque panoramic
views. Choose the best ski instructors from the many qualified ski schools
throughout the whole valley and then relax in one of the pubs and ski
restaurants high on a mountainside.
There are also snow-parks and special areas
for snowboarders
Feel your adrenaline flowing when you snowboard
down on Valtellina slopes. Get down with free-style skiing in snow-parks and in
the wide specially-designated areas where you can perform all the tricks you
have ever dreamed of. The snow-parks are full of ramps and platforms: rails,
boxes, kickers and half pipes. In Livigno there are two snow-parks with varying
levels of difficulty. There are three parks in Bormio, and in Aprica there is
an area with kickers and boxes of varying lengths. Try a 4-metre-long flat rail
in Chiesa in Valmalenco or two 1-metre flat kickers in Madesimo, and then go on
testing your skills with even more difficult tricks. Thanks to a small
snow-park on the Stelvio glacier, the fun of snowboarding in Valtellina
continues in summer too!
Surfing on fresh snow in Valtellina is a
fantastic emotion. Discover backcountry skiing together with our Alpine guides
or our Ski instructors: they will help you planning your holiday in full
safety. Do not miss the “Vallone” or the “Posto degli Sciatori” in Bormio: a
funny and fascinating downhill surrounded by a magical environment. The most
skilled skiers will go to the “Antenne”: entrance recommended only with expert
guides. In Livigno you can practice off-piste skiing and reach the slopes
by helicopter. In Madesimo the best-known route is the “Canalone” that begins
by the arrival station of the cablecar of the Val di Lei and ends at the mouth
of the Alpe Groppera where it joins with the other ski slopes. The staff of the
ski area will inform you about the possibility to practice backcountry skiing
or not every day. The Valmalenco is one of riders’ favourite resort as it is
surrounded by impressive mountains such as the Disgrazia, the Bernina e the
Scalino: in few space you will find a great variety of environments and
different kinds of snow. The fondest and most expert ones will combine the use
of lifts with climbing skins: really #wonderful!
