Beginners are well catered for by the beginner’s park at the base of the gondola. There are a few short blues around the resort which provide good progression opportunities. The area is fantastic for intermediates given the great range of blue runs across the mountain. Ambitious intermediates can catch the gondola up the mountain and ski back down to the village on a combination of blues and reds. Advanced skiers have few on piste options but there is a challenging terrain park and plenty of off piste if you take the chairlifts out of the village rather than the gondola.
The accommodation is provided by four reasonably sized hotels, with one of the resort’s claims to fame is playing host to Europe’s highest hotel at 3210m. The nearest airport is Bolzano which is only an hour’s drive away.

Italy gets the first of its famous Retour d’Est systems this week, low pressure areas bringing warm moisture off the Mediterranean that slam into the Alps causing big dumps of snowfall.
The West will see the best of this, with up to two feet of snowfall expected down over the Via Lattea; with the freezing line sitting comfortably at 1,000m this snowfall will reach all elevations. Aosta will see the same, albeit with slightly lower totals (1.5ft).
Further east, the Dolomites escape a lot of this action; 20cm, however, will still fall over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, bringing good totals for many areas and elevations, especially as the freezing line remains around 1,500m.
The whole region then turns fine, dry and bright as Boxing Day turns into the weekend, with temperatures remaining cool.
