Santa Caterina Valfurva is a small and tranquil village at an altitude of 1,734 m. It is situated close to the Swiss border, in the middle of the fairytale scenery of the Lombardy Alps. It is also nestled in the protected area of the Stilfserjoch National Park. Families especially will feel right at home. Santa Caterina was not just the venue for the ladies' descent in the 2005 world championships, but also the home of the 3-time Olympic winner Deborah Compagnoni.

The altitude, as well as diverse snow cannons, ensure a high level of snow security! The location is ideal for all skiers, as Santa Caterina is situated directly on the piste. At the Monte Sobretta (3,296 m) mountain range, starting from an altitude of 2,880 m, you can ski directly into the resort centre. In the background, the panorama is dominated by the summits of the Ortler Mountains and the "Himalaya like" Forni glacier. Due to its predominantly challenging pistes and cross-country ski trails, Santa Caterina is also a popular destination among cross-country skiers and the host of many important international cross-country races.

The small village of Santa Caterina is calmer than its famous neighbour Bormio. All the same, "après ski" is not a foreign word! Various traditional huts and cosy cafes and restaurants entice with regional and national specialities. Guests can meet up later in the local disco to party. Additionally, neighbouring resorts Bormio and Livigno offer enough selection to provide an exciting night life. Alternatively, there is also the possibility to participate in ice skating, tennis, or indoor climbing. The culturally aware can visit a museum or spend the evening at the cinema. Nature fans can visit the huge Stilfser National Park, where they can enjoy the varied flora and fauna.
