The first training sessions on snow, the crisp air and the autumn mountains: in Santa Caterina Valfurva the cross-country skiing season starts early. From 31 October 2026, the Pista Valtellina will once again welcome athletes and enthusiasts thanks to the second edition of the Snowfarm project.
Snow preserved from the previous season makes it possible to prepare the trail already in autumn, so you can put your skis back on and find your rhythm ahead of winter. The trail is open to everyone, by reservation and during set time slots.
An early start to your season
Well known and appreciated internationally too, the Pista Valtellina offers a technical course and a favourable exposure: natural shade helps preserve the snow.
For teams, committees and national and international athletes, the autumn opening is an opportunity to prepare at altitude for the first races. For enthusiasts, it is the chance to get back on the snow without waiting for winter.

The Snowfarm project
Preserving snow to start the season earlier: this is the idea behind Snowfarm, which in Santa Caterina Valfurva reaches its second edition.
The project and the early opening of Pista Valtellina are made possible thanks to the collaboration and contribution of Comune di Valfurva, Comunità Montana Alta Valtellina, Snowsecure, Liski, San Bernardo and Società Impianti S. Caterina Valfurva.
