Trip to St. Catarina

Trip to St. Catarina

Nice Italian girl

Insert: 04.03.2010
We went to St.Catarina after a few days in Bormio. We could say that we let the best for the end. This trip took place in the timeline of exhibition ISPO, Bormio, and remained St. Catarina. It's a small snowbound resort, which is not so famous.


Actually is not from the biggest resorts, but with lifts on both sides of the peak offers fantastic opportunities. Our peaceful late arrival to the resort, about 10 am did not indicate adrenaline, which we expected. In this resort, I had an appointment with Mr. Beppe Bonseri. Mr. Bonseri is a local person and skiing is in his blood. He is a former representative of Italy in Alpine disciplines. On the south side of the resort has built a wonderful restaurant, completely bulit from wood with the name Sunny Valley. We were there to explore the resort but we were amazed by its size and capabilities. It was much better than Bormio. From the back of the restaurant we saw one of the snowcats from Mr. Bonseri. So we loaded up our gear and went to to local peaks. We all had the euphoric feeling, almost as if I were sitting in the heli, we had a bluebird and powder day, nothing better you can wish for.  We were passing through the south side of the resort and got as much information as possible and conventions, local conditions, etc. riding freeriding. This information we will pass in the next GUIDE for St. Catarina. After a few journeys with Mr Bonseri we wish him good bye, and we got more and more lines, which were due to weather conditions really unforgettable. We went up to half in the afternoon, where the south side at that time we had a sunny day. For sure not a problem with the local police, which we playfully solved and headed home. Info on Police and riding in the resort, I will give more detail in the guide.

Mr. Bonseri is the freerider and he is tries to build a freeride area, he will thrive in certain limits. Primarily on the south side of resort, where, thanks to the two snow cats is carrying freeriders on peaks and then pulling them back to the resort. In his approach, I was really excited, creating snowmobile traverses through which you can afford to go down further and returning back to the lifts. In cooperation with travel agency Nev-Dama this year from 10 – 17 of April organize freeride week, in which the snow cats will carry freeriders for a pure powder. More info search in the catalog of the agency. Thus I ended our entire trip to Italy. During our way home we have found one party club in Livigno. But this is a different story. GALLERY
