Alpine skiing

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!
