Ski Club Formazza
PONTE - FORMAZZA
The historic Formazza Ski Club, which celebrated its centennial in 2011 with a publication entitled "A Century of Snow," boasts many trophies won by valley dwellers since the 1920s, earning Formazza the nickname "Valley of the Invincibles." In Riale di Formazza, there is a ski museum housing all the testimonies, trophies, and images documenting its glory. History tells that on a cold winter's day in 1903, three men arrived in Canza di Formazza (1,400 m) with two strange pieces of wood on their feet. The three, having ascended from Airolo (Switzerland) via the San Giacomo Pass, descended to Canza to everyone's amazement... ...and the first skis were born in the Formazza Valley, which the people of Formazza used for travel even before roads existed. The Ski Club, which boasts many members, continues its activities to give young people the opportunity to try their hand at skiing by training and participating in competitions in various categories.
