FRUILI VENEZIA GUILIA
With 5 ski resorts located in Piancavallo,
Forni di Sopra, Zoncolan, Tarvisio and Sella Nevea; Friuli
Venezia Giulia offers all levels of skiing. Around 100 kms
of ski slopes ranging from the easiest to the most difficult
(used for the European World Cup) which are not only wide
and well routed, but are uncrowded with few queues. Almost
all are served by the latest in artificial snow technology
ensuring guaranteed snow. The ski resorts are well connected
via a good network of roads and can be reached either straight
from motorways or, at the very most, just 30 kms from motorway
exits.
In addition there are 100 kms of cross-country trails
winding through fairytale sceneries; 3 ice rinks and countless
possibilities for practicing alternative sports such as
sled dogging, ice-climbing, alpine and off-piste skiing.
Night time skiing is also very popular, as is night time
walking through the forest with snow shoes.
Great for kids and beginners, Piancavallo is the favorite
resort of the young! An excellent team of qualified ski
instructors is on hand to teach young and old how to ski
and have fun whilst learning. Its wide, gently sloping runs,
are perfect for those who are just starting but also for
the more advanced. Younger beginners have a Baby ski-park
and a 4,000 square meter training-practice area.
Forni di Sopra
Forni di Sopra also offers a wide range of runs and ski
schools and is a paradise for families with children. Here,
you’ll find specifically marked routes for new skiers,
snow tubing for a change of pace and the longer routes on
Monte Varmost for advanced skiers. The resort provides a
charming atmosphere with the typical ‘’baite’’
(log cabins) and their brightly colored window sills. It
is considered the romantic corner of the Dolomites.
Zoncolan
Here you will find fourteen exciting downhill runs,
nine lifts, bright and welcoming restaurants and bars, together
with breathtaking views, all combine to make this a most
welcoming resort. Do not forget to stop at the Enzo Moro
refuge for a delicious cake or a pastry.
Tarvisio
Tarvisio is a small town in the midst of the Alps and an
international centre linking 3 bordering countries. If you
hear the words “Di Prampero” think of snow,
excitement and speed. This run is considered the queen run
of the Western Alps. 4 kms long (950 meters of slope) winding
down the peak of Monte Lussari and the area of Camporosso,
it is served by a quick cable car lift and carousel which
connects it to the other runs in the circuit such as Priesnig
and Florianca.
Sella
Nevea
Sella Nevea is a permanent seat of the European Cup competitions.
Ski and nature are the two words that best describe Sella
Nevea. Here the runs weave through the impressive wilderness
of mountain tops such as the famous Canin peak. Sella Nevea
is also prime alpine ski territory, which can be explored
with expert alpine ski guides from the ski school. Sella Nevea
is ideal also for snowboarding, ice skating and cross country
skiing.
