Night skiing

Ski under the stars -  Ski Stadium Aloch

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.
