A lot of the terrain is rated blue, but there is some more challenging red terrain and a couple of blacks, for example the Holzriese, which is the steapest slope in Italy and definitely a must for adrenaline junkies. Most slopes are tree-lined, so are excellent in bad weather, plus snowmaking coverage is exceptional, ensuring reliable conditions throughout the winter. The lift system has seen major upgrades in recent years and there are ambitious plans to link the ski area even better, to the village of Padola and also across into Austria, which connection would make 3 Zinnen the biggest ski resort in the Dolomiti Superski Area and the only one in two countries.
The scenery is incredibly picturesque, with beautiful Dolomite views at every turn. There’s also a fascinating history going back to the World Wars, some of which can still be seen today, either in a museum or on a guided tour of the old mountain trenches which the tourist office regularly runs. German is very much the language here and this is reflected in many of the place names, which are bilingual. The villages of Sesto and Versciaco are the best bases from where to explore the ski area.
Innsbruck airport in Austria is closest, with the drive taking around two hours, but with the option also of flying into Venice or Treviso airport, which are about 2.5 hours scenic drive away.

Following a great weekend for the Italian Alps, the New Year dawns fine, dry and bright across the region thanks to high pressure. This moves away as the week continues, with cold and more unsettled weather eventually moving in.
The southwest will see around 15cm of snow fall in steady flurries over Friday, Saturday and Sunday; this will grow to a foot in the northwestern Italian Alps. A slower start in the Dolomites will see at least 20cm down on Sunday with more predicted outside this forecast period into the new week.
The freezing line will remain around 2,000m, dropping to 1,500m in places, before dropping off a cliff on Monday morning ensuring this snowfall – and the snow following into the new week – hits all elevations and remains there.
