Bormio 360 Mountain Bike - Stage 8 - Ice Trail

Santa Caterina Valfurva is surrounded by valleys marked by deep erosive furrows of glacial origin, cradling glaciers of moderate size, and lined with ancient moraines. From the valleys of Gavia and Forni you can admire these glacial formations, where water has permeated all phases of the environment, creating an ecosystem in which man has been able to create conditions favorable for living, and for developing tourism. In the nineteenth century, the first forms of modern mountaineering were born, where foreigners using local guides made the first daring ascents of our mountains and glaciers, leading to refuges and bivouacs being built above 3,000 meters, many still in use today.
