Cult Pistes

 

Changes in slope, detours, challenging sections and fascinating views. Some of the most celebrated pistes in the world are found in Trentino and feature unique characteristics. Surrounded by unsurpassed natural landscapes, they are subjected to a daily maintenance regime to guarantee safety and ensure that you enjoy real thrill.

EASTERN DOLOMITES

In Val di Fassa, the famed Tomba Piste on Ciampedie was used by the Italian ski champion as a training ground, while the Ciampac Piste at Alba di Canazei has a gradient of over 28% and significant height difference, making it very challenging. The European Ski Cup is held here. The San Pellegrino Pass has a myriad of shapes and snow on the ground even in spring, while the Col Margherita Piste starts at 2500 m and is almost 3 km in length, with a height difference of 650 m.

In Val di Fiemme, the Olimpia is the most spectacular and exciting black piste in the Cermis Alps. The piste is more than 7 km long and a goodly section of it unfurls within the forest. The Agnello Piste in Pampeago is 2.5 km in length, with numerous detours as well as a drop of 400 m.

The spectacular Tognola Piste is found in San Martino di Castrozza, and has been specifically approved for the Giant, Special and SuperG.

BRENTA DOLOMITES

The Miramonti Couloir in Madonna di Campiglio is very technical. Also known as 3-Tre, it has a gradient of up to 55% and curves which must be taken in a jump. It has also played host to several editions of the World Cup. The Competition Piste at Pinzolo is 1100 m long and has a drop of 300 m. It is used to hold the races of the Trofeo Topolino.

The Nera of Folgarida in Val di Sole is both exhilarating and challenging, and is used for a number of different skiing and snowboarding competitions. The Paradiso Piste is located on the Tonale Pass. This challenging black piste begins at 3000 m, inside the Presena glacier basin. It is more than 5 km long and has a drop of almost 600 m.

The Olimpica Due in Paganella changes direction continuously, is 5 km long and a 1000 m drop, taking visitors to Andalo.
For those who like to ski in Pinzolo, the biggest news is the opening of the new (8-person, high-speed) Tulot gondola lift, which serve the new DoloMitica piste. The slope will run down into the valley with two variants: Star, for expert skiers (3.5km long, or just over 2mi); and Tour, for everyone else (5.8km, or over 3.5mi).

FOLGARIA PLATEAU

The Salizzona Piste on the Folgaria Plateau is both thrillingly challenging and very technical, with its sudden slope changes. The piste starts at 1650 m and has a drop of approximately 300 m.

TRENTO MONTE BONDONE

The Gran Pista is located on Monte Bondone. Renamed Trentino's Super-piste, it is highly satisfying because it is extremely varied, with its 3.5 km in length and drop of 800 m.

Ski Trentino

Night skiing

Skiing down a well-lit piste on a calm, moonlit evening is an unforgettable experience. There are numerous floodlit pistes in Trentino, which allow visitors to savour this experience.

The first ski area to offer this experience was Madonna di Campiglio. Since 1998, its 3-Tre piste has been lit, so that Skiing World Cup slalom competitions could be held at night. The final part of this famous piste - the Canalone Miramonti - is equipped for night skiing

You can also enjoy a night out on your skis under the stars in other locations, such as on the Biancaneve piste in Marilleva and on the black section of the Stadio dello Slalom in Folgaria (the last 400 m).

In Pozza di Fassa the Fis Aloch piste is very popular.  A 5 km section of the Ciancoal ring is also lit at night for cross-country skiers, as is the cross-country ski centre Lago di Tesero.

At San Martino di Castrozza, an innovative lighting system using balls has been installed on 2 km of the Col Verde piste, with extremely pleasing results.  A 3 km section of the Andalo cross-country ring is also illuminated at night as it winds its way through the woods near the lake.

Also in Valsugana you can ski at night. In the ski area Brocon, immersed in the splendid setting of the chain Lagorai-Cima d'Asta, the Ski Lagorai provides several flood-lit slopes: the learning area, the snow park LGR Playground and 2 ski runs.
Opening : Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights from 7.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.
