Changed to Arlberg

price, 1150 EUR

If you think you know all the best Freeride Spots in the Alps sometimes you are wrong, same as we… Last Winter we discovered the area in the upper Valtellina, with the towns, Bormio, Santa Caterina and Isolaccia. All 3 places are very close to each other and offer incredible possibilities for great Freerides. Isolaccia is absolutely unknown in the circles of Freeriders, but on the 2800 Meter high Barron we ski the stunning north side down to Valdidentro with not less than 1200 vertical meters. In Bormio the cable car takes us up to more than 3000 meters. A large number of great rides takes us back down into Valfurva. If we prefer to ski southsides at Croce Sud we find very nice couloirs from narrow to wide. As the 3.rd place we ski in Santa Caterina. Not only ski world cups take place in this cosy mountain village, Freeriders also love the wide open and treeless slopes. With short hikes, even after a few days of the last snowfall we reach still fresh and untracked Powder. After a great skiing day we can enjoy the natural hot springs of Bormio an unforgettable experience. If you want to discover a new place in the Alps our Freeride in Alta Valtellina is the right choice.

How to get there

To reach the upper Valtellina from the northern side of the alps is in winter time a bit more time consuming. The fastest way is via Lindau – Landquart – Klosters – Vereina tunnel – Zernez – Livigno – Passo Eira – Bormio. Alternative via St. Moritz – Passo Bernina – Tirano - Bormio. In very bad and snowy weather we reccomend to use the St. Gotthard Tunnel to Belinzona then to Colico – Sondrio to Bormio.

We will meet on Saturday 4th of February at 7 pm in Bormio we will let you know the Hotel asap.
