Most of the slopes are rated red, making this a paradise for intermediate and advanced skiers looking to cruise kilometre after kilometre of well-groomed runs. The jewel in the crown is the epic descent down to Tröpolach, which drops over 1200m of vertical to the valley floor. Unless there has been fresh powder, experts may find the ski area a bit limited, but there are a few blacks marked on the piste map. Look out for a new big connection to Pontebba over the border into Italy in the next few years.
Accommodation-wise, there are two main options. Families or those looking for maximum convenience should base themselves at Sonnenalpe, which has a decent collection of family run hotels and apartment buildings. The alternative is to stay at Tröpolach at the foot of the Millenium Express gondola – which has its own good selection of accommodation and dining options. Away from the slopes, the region is home to 300km of cross country trails, 150km of winter walking trails and if the Pressegger See in the valley freezes, great ice sports are on offer.

Updated 14/01
High pressure dominates over most of Europe this week, thanks to the Jetstream forming a strong barrier along the west cost of Ireland, the UK and Norway. As a result, plenty of sun and fine, dry and bright conditions will be story of the week from now until the end of the weekend.
Things will remain cold, however, with a freezing line camping out at around 1,000m, occasionally peaking to 2,000m in the midday sun. Daytime highs of -5°C can be expected at 2,000m, occasionally slipping into positive temperatures throughout the week.
A few flurries of snow will move in to some areas on Wednesday as a pocket of low pressure moves into Eastern Europe, but this will barely measure on the snowstick.
This barrier is broken as the weekend comes to a conclusion, with more unsettled weather moving in over the course of the new week – it is still to far out to see what affect this may have.
