San Sicario Alto: Mountains, Skiing and Excursions

San Sicario Alto combines alpine skiing with expansive mountain views and several opportunities for active excursions.

Skiing with an Olympic connection

San Sicario Alto hosted the women's super-G alpine skiing event during the 2006 Winter Olympics. This gives the resort a specific connection to the international history of winter sports. At the same time, San Sicario Alto is located at the edge of the ski slopes and is suitable for alpine skiing with a return to the hotel on skis. This location is therefore particularly interesting when choosing your accommodation if winter sports are the main focus of your trip.
