Chiesa Valmalenco<\/a><\/strong> is one of the ski resorts<\/a> in the Alpine area of Lombardy<\/strong>. The valley is located at a branch at Sondrio<\/strong> and can be easily reached in a few hours’ drive from Milan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The beautiful Valmalenco Church guarantees breathtaking peaks and lush nature<\/strong> and a strong culture preserved by the community that makes the area alive and active<\/strong>, offering many activities that can be experienced during the winter season and beyond. So let’s find out what are the 10 things to do and not to miss in Chiesa Valmalenco.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

1. Skiing in Chiesa Valmalenco Bernina Ski Resort<\/h2>\n\n

A well-known ski resort in Lombardy, Chiesa Valmalenco has almost 60 km of slopes that wind around the Pal\u00f9 alp<\/strong>, allowing skiers to test themselves on slopes for all levels, from beginners to experts. But for experts in particular, we cannot but recommend the Thoeni, a black slope with an impressive wall<\/strong>, which only the bravest will want to tackle.<\/p>\n\n

The Valmalenco Bernina Ski Resort<\/a> with its Alpe Pal\u00f9 and Caspoggio areas is characterised by consistently groomed pistes and a record-breaking facility, the Snow Eagle, the world’s largest cable car<\/strong> with 160-person cabins that take skiers from the village’s altitude of around 1,000 metres to an altitude of 2,080 metres.<\/p>\n\n

2. Ski mountaineering and freeriding in Chiesa Valmalenco<\/h2>\n\n

Chiesa Valmalenco is a true ski mountaineering paradise<\/strong>, as it is possible to venture on many excursions in the area of the Bernina glaciers or Mount Disgrazia. We particularly highlight Pizzo Cassandra and Pizzo Scalino as territories also practised for the Cai<\/a> advanced course (Sa2). <\/p>\n\n

However, for those who do not like skins, or for freeride enthusiasts, it is possible to use the lifts and then go off-piste<\/strong> or book a heli-ski flight to reach more distant places in and around Valmalenco.<\/p>\n\n

3. Try your hand at stunts at the Pal\u00f9 Park snowpark<\/h2>\n\n

The Pal\u00f9 Park is a reference point for many riders<\/strong>, the likes of Nicolino Dioli<\/a> (Italian national freestyle snowboarder) grew up here. For those who love jumps, evolutions and fun, the snowpark in Chiesa Valmalenco is the right place. In fact, the snowpark is very well equipped with various lines and structures to enjoy tricks on snowboards and freestyle skis and is also perfect for those just starting to experiment with freestyle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Pal\u00f9 Park is divided into two main areas<\/strong>: the Park one<\/strong> with an 11-metre jump, a 9-metre funbox and a rail line with a 4-metre quarter with rail on the coping and final rail at the exit and the Park two<\/strong> has a box line with a 6-metre straight box and a flat-descent box of the same length, a series of jumps from 3 to 7 metres, a real line with pipes and tanks, and closing with three 7-metre funbox lines. There really is something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n
