By staying here, visitors support sustainable tourism that is based on being in touch with nature and respecting the environment. With its rich traditions and age-old legends, the region offers cultural and gastronomic experiences to enjoy throughout the year.
Winter season
Nestled in a fairy-tale landscape, Santa Caterina Valfurva is truly magical when blanketed in snow. The snow is, without a shadow of a doubt, the main attraction of these valleys, guaranteeing all kinds of fun activities for visitors between November and March, including downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating and fatbiking. The numerous snowshoe trails act as the perfect backdrop for picturesque walks, including full moon excursions.
Summer season
During the summer, when the snow begins to melt, the mountain transforms, with a wide variety of colours and hues emerging. Pastures turn green, the forests reawaken and the sun warms the valleys and most inaccessible peaks. These places offer a glorious spectacle of nature when the summer season arrives.
Skiing and winter sports give way to hikes, panoramic walks, beautiful places to visit and organised events, all surrounded by untouched nature.
