Summer skiing
Sul Ghiacciaio dello Stelvio si scia anche in estate! 20 km di piste che restano aperte permettono di vivere l’esperienza dello sci alpino e dello snowboard anche fuori stagione. Goditi una neve compatta e tracciati curati, apprezzati anche da atleti e squadre in allenamento.
Alpine lakes
If you want to fill your eyes with beauty and breathe high-altitude air, devote a day to the Alpine Lakes. From the Cancano Lakes to the Bei Laghetti, at an elevation of 3,000 meters (10,000 feet), you move through an unspoiled environment in the heart of Stelvio National Park. Ideal destinations to reach on foot or by bike, with views that repay any effort

Whether you prefer to go uphill or focus on downhill, there is no shortage of terrain and it is constantly changing.
Cycling and gravel
Here cycling is part of our identity. Iconic roads alternate with quieter stretches, from the Stelvio Pass to the Gavia, from the Mortirolo to theUmbrail, along with a network of gravel trails that invite you to explore beyond the asphalt.
