The experienced athletes arrive at the health resort mainly because of the slopes of Cevedale, which is a crossroads of one of the World Cup Stacks.
The difficult descent with a lot of steep slopes is considered one of the most dangerous in Italy. There are two interesting 'black' pistes - Adler and Bucaneve. The tiny spa town of Santa Caterina Valfurva is situated in the wonderfully beautiful area of the Stelvio National Park.
