Over 80% of Olympic medalists skiing (both men and women) was coached at Cerro Castor, winning 10 gold medals, 11 silver and 6 bronze medals in almost all disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super combined, but also freestyle and snowboard cross.
Only during the 2013 season is the Castor was attended by 400 members of the national racing teams, including athletes, coaches and technicians; from Switzerland, Slovenia, Italy, France, Canada, Spain, Norway, Andorra and Austria. There is no fact in the world, during the northern summer, a more best suited for the preparation and competitive factors for this success are many: an assortment of trails suitable for every discipline and with a skiable vertical drop of 900m, a natural snow statistically very satisfactory and well complemented by the artificial one, a quality Snow is very similar to that found on the slopes of the White Circus, weather conditions rarely compromised and 2/3 of the ski jointed along the woods, a quota (seaside) that optimizes the physical strain of the athletes, management of the resort very flexible and very well organized and certainly not the last reason, a city support (Ushuaia) any solution that offers accommodation and convenient services; including an excellent hospital complex. It is understandable that the bid to host a stage of the World Cup is As ever justified and Interski 2015 organized here will confirm further. short, the real summer meeting of the "ghota" world of skiing is the last city of the world, nestled between snow-capped mountains and oceans, and any fan can admire and bring their heroes with ease; both on the slopes and in the city in sneakers. The vocation of the resort for ski racing further enhances the tourist value of the same; Cerro Castor is the fact was elected as the best resort Ski Resort in Argentina for 2013 by World Ski Awards, an institution that rewards excellence in tourism skiing for over 20 years. Of note in fact that the agreement does not affect the free attendance racing usability of the slopes; through times are reserved for racing teams often beyond the normal opening to the public. The natural environment and geographical (and also social) really exceptional and unique completes the attractiveness'' of the place.

Mottarone
Il Mottarone, alto 1.492 metri, sorge in una posizione privilegiata tra il Lago Maggiore e il Lago d’Orta. La sua vetta arrotondata è uno dei balconi panoramici più spettacolari del Piemonte: nelle giornate limpide lo sguardo abbraccia sette laghi, la Pianura Padana e gran parte dell’arco alpino, dal Monviso al Monte Rosa fino alle montagne svizzere. Questa cornice, più che le dimensioni del comprensorio, rappresenta il vero elemento distintivo della località.
