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.

Hello, and welcome to the first of the Ski Club’s Snow Overviews for the 2024/25 winter season. With our first holidays jetting out this weekend, Reps eagerly packing their bags before heading out, and ski resorts opening across Europe, now is the perfect time to start thinking about snow!
Italy has seen more of a mixed back conditions-wise over the past week or two, pummelled by snow in September but most of this having left us in the intervening weeks. Nevertheless, a few good snowfalls over the past week or so has seen a strong base in play that the Azzurri will look to build on as the season begins to move through the gears. Temperatures across the region have been mild, with the freezing line touching 2,000m in many places, but this will begin to fall as the week continues hitting 500m by Sunday. If you are able to get out on snow this week over the weekend, some perfect, cold, bluebird conditions should dominate.
Things will remain fine and dry for most areas, some higher peaks around the Aosta Valley seeing a flurry of a few centimetres on Thursday. The disruptive weather that is bringing more meaningful snowfall for many areas of Europe will, unfortunately, not push away the high pressure system over Italy so the trade off for beautiful conditions is a lack of further snow!
At least for the time being – things are expected to change next week, with more unsettled conditions moving in from a few angles to bring snow to many areas. It remains a little too far out to see where this snow will fall, but stay tuned for more.
