Eight cult pistes and one dedicated to Schumacher

EIGHT CULT PISTES FOR CHOOSY SKIERS
There are hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of pistes in Trentino set in a varied and particularly attractive environment. Among these there are eight cult pistes of exceptional technical difficulty to be tackled flat out.
First of all the “Canalone Miramonti” in Madonna di Campiglio where the important «3-Tre» is held every two years, the slalom with a capital “S”, with extreme slopes that leave you breathless. Not to be missed the “Ciampac” piste in Alba di Canazei, a very technical and enjoyable run with many changes in gradient, a small paradise completely immersed in a forest right down to the valley. The “Paradiso”piste on Passo del Tonale is a very interesting run on which to test your athletic condition, where there is no question of being bored thanks to the new and fast lift. The “Salizzona” piste on the Altopiano di Folgaria is also a difficult slope and one of the favourites of the Rovereto champion Davide Simoncelli as it is only a few kilometres from his home.
Those who love to draw sweeping dynamic curves in absolute safety and tranquillity should attempt the “Tognola”piste at San Martino di Castrozza The “Tomba” piste, instead, on Ciampedie in Vigo di Fassa requires maximum concentration right from the first serpentines, due to its sudden changes of gradient and almost extreme drop in height.
Definitely exciting is the five kilometre long “Olimpica Due” on Paganella, with its drop in height of one thousand metres and continual changes of direction. Lastly the renewed “Olimpia”piste at Alpe del Cermis which is seven kilometres long, smooth at the beginning and difficult at the end.
