The design of the course spent in the woods and required interventions with heavy earth moving, tree felling. They were organized by the environmental movements a petition to stop the work. The new track was completed in 1968 and named Saslong in tribute to the wonderful Dolomite group that dominates the valley. They won all the pi & ugrave; big downhill in the last trent''anni: Bernhard Russi, Patrick Ortlieb, Peter M & uuml; ller, K & ouml; nig Franz Klammer won four times and then Urs R & auml; ber, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Collombin, Rob Boyd and four times Kristian Ghedina.La 2249 meters from the runway part of Ciampino with a diagonal stretch of about 150 meters, delicate perch & eacute; must immediately dosed very sharp edges. Soon after, they lead to a jump quite difficult followed by a compression with a bend to the left is important because & eacute; we are preparing to Salto del Moro, the first steps of pi & ugrave; spectacular Saslong. Followed by about 400 meters scroll interspersed with a basin from which it takes off the edge on a slight slope to the Salto Looping. & Nbsp; The following are the Walls of Sochers, where you literally fly: between the walls in succession with gradients of around 60% you will come to a jump of about 40-50 meters. Quickly you get to the Camel Humps, one of the most & ugrave; known of the Saslong. The difficulty & agrave; of the three famous Humps & egrave; highly variable depending on snow conditions. With snow in the icy part is likely to be fired off the track. & Nbsp; In the races of the World Cup the last two humps are made with a single jump of about fifty meters. & Nbsp; The speed & agrave; the exit from the humps in excess of 120 km / h to increase a little more in the subsequent descent, which flows into the plateau of 200 meters, ante Prati di Ciaslat. The Meadows Ciaslat are the 'other mythical passage of Saslong: four curves in succession, demanding especially for the irregular bottom. The exit from Ciaslat you enter into a gully with a slight change in slope before reaching the curve Nucia, which corresponds to a very abrupt change of slope. From this inclined plane you arrive on the schuss of 'arrival, a slight counter slope.

Chiesa Valmalenco
La Valmalenco offre uno dei comprensori sciistici più panoramici della Valtellina, sviluppato principalmente nella conca dell’Alpe Palù e circondato dalle grandi montagne del gruppo del Bernina. Boschi di conifere, ampi pendii in quota e il lago Palù compongono un ambiente alpino ancora relativamente integro, con vedute che spaziano verso il Pizzo Scalino, il Monte Disgrazia e le cime che separano la valle dall’Engadina.
