Santa Caterina flows with the aura of charm and friendliness, located in the region of Alta Valtellina. The resort in itself is not the typical thriving ski resort but a refreshingly peaceful one so more time can be spent skiing instead of queuing.
Bormio can be included on the lift pass and is only a short trip away, the options for skiing are
then far more than you would initially think. Santa Caterina offers a range of skiing more for the intermediate skier but with adequate beginner runs and some challenging options for the more adventurous. Bormio gives the opportunity, for both the beginner and advanced skier, to ski the whole mountain seeing the mass of spectacular views from within the tree line to above it using an array of long sweeping pistes.

Whilst skiing at Bormio you can also take the long cruise down Pista Stelvio, which is the challenging down hill run, or you could take the hassle free long descent taking you over approximately 14km in to the town of Bormio itself. Within these two ski areas the chance to progress through your skiing levels is within the grasps of all that ski this spectacular area.
Basing the group at Santa Caterina gives the feeling of quietness but with a short trip to Bormio your group can experience the delights of some of the local apres ski. Or you could be tempted by the luxury of relaxing in the local thermal baths that offer a cure not just for aching muscles but “a range of ailments such as colds and flu”.
Our accommodation is based in Santa Caterina itself. All hotels have a maximum occupancy of
5 per room and provide exceptionally good local
cuisine ideal for school groups.
