Hollywood on Ice


Enjoy skiing? Enjoy luxury spa hotels? Enjoy family holidays? Then read on and find out why Santa Caterina ski resort Italy is the place for you to enjoy a fun filled, relaxing holiday!!!

The Resort

Santa Caterina, found near Bormio, is a very quiet resort, ideal for families and beginners wanting to avoid crowds. Santa Caterina is a quiet, friendly village in the North East Valfurva Valley above the town of Bormio. The architecture is very Italian and scenery unspoilt and tranquil. Santa Caterina is part of the Alta Valtellina ski area with access to 112 individual pistes. In addition to skiing in Santa Caterina itself the appropriate ski lift pass will allow you to ski or snowboard in the other Alta Valtellina ski resorts or Bormio and Livingo. The resort has 40 kilometer (25 miles) of slopes suitable all ability levels. There are two blue, six red and three black runs. The latter offers 15km of terrain - a much higher percentage than at most ski areas and reflecting Santa Caterina's heritage in ski racing. However, beginners are well looked after too, with a ski stadium which incorporates a completely enclosed nursery slope for kids. There is also a short handle tow to ease the ascent back up the slopes for those first runs. You will fly from your destined airport to Innsbruck airport. The transfer time is 2hours and 15 mins approx, dry roads timing are subject to weather and traffic conditions. Car hire on a clear, dry day may be slightly quicker.
