In the eighties, the first editions of the marathon Marchablanca Ushuaia, it was really unrealistic to think the inclusion of this event at the end of the world in the international Nordic skiing more prestigious; participation was then almost exclusively local and completely amateur, the organizers have already demonstrated passion and goodwill but possessed of limited means, to a destination that was still considered extreme even by the classic tourist routes, the last of the remote and boundless Patagonia.

Globalization supervening did not take away one iota to the wonder and extreme charm of Tierra del Fuego but allowed faster in the years to emancipate Ushuaia making it not only the most well- easily accessible, friendly and structured; but also a destination of world-wide interest for winter sports. Cross-country skiing in Ushuaia, which should be applied at 2 steps from the oceans into the valleys of glacial origin reminiscent of the Upper Engadine, is was one of the main actors of this great momentum and has seen Marchablanca in its main window.
Since 2011, the organizational effort has tripled events, leaving the Marchablanca the characteristic of popular participation and festive and creating both MiniMarchablanca for more small that the UshuaiaLoppet, competition from larger racing and double cut away; until you get the official inclusion as an associate member in the international circuit Worldloppet ruled last June 22 in Riva del Garda, during the annual congress of the federation that encompasses the greatest marathon in the world. The opportunity is approved the inclusion, after careful inspections, as well as the manifestation of Argentina, also of Vasaloppet China, of the New Zealand Merino Muster and Fossavatn And in Iceland ' a goal that has great credit to the organizers, managers and representatives of the fund fueghino (among them, the Club Andino Ushuaia), who for years have worked with humility and determination; ensuring continuous improvement and professionalization of the proposal and related services.
 Participation in more Worldloppet races allows you to earn the prestigious award of the diploma and the medal of the Master; recognition coveted by many fans all over the world now, also from Italy, will be very interested to get to the end of the world to get together to ski and compete in an environment, including social, incredible value and attractiveness. The appointment is for August 2015 with 42km of skating (wearing soon 50km) of UshuaiaWORLDLoppet.
We will be there.

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.
