Santa Caterina Valfurva - Sports
ALPINE SKIING – SNOWBOARD – TELEMARK
The ski area of Santa Caterina is composed of 35 kilometres of ski runs, each characterised by its own difficulty (blue, red, black tracks). They develop on the slopes of Mount Sobretta and can reach the altitude of 2.900 metres.
The ski stadium in the centre of the town offers an area for children and beginners who would like to learn in a safe atmosphere.
Recently new ski runs and lifts have been opened. They have contributed to giving prestige to the ski resort! It deals with a cableway (8 seats) that reaches Sobretta and gives the opportunity to get to the “Debora Compagnoni” ski run. It is famous as it takes its name from the very important skier who was born here in Santa Caterina. The ski run was opened during the World Cup a couple of years ago. There is another chair lift (4 seats) that leads from “Valle dell’Alpe” to “Cresta Sobretta”.
Santa Caterina offers different possibilities of renting the complete equipment, for both beginners and those who are more expert and exigent.
