the full immersion in the snow begins few kilometres from the autobrennero motorway (exit for ora - auer) and continues for some hundred kilometres in an area that offers 40 skilifts of the 460 skilifts of the whole dolomiti superki system.
this is one of the most beautiful and organized ski resorts with its more than 100 kilometre long ski slopes of any kind of difficulty. here one finds the most modern systems of snowblowers, in addition to suggestions about cross-country skiing, alpine skiing and excursions.
moena,
s. pellegrino pass and the fassa valley boast a fame that has stood the test of time not only because of their magic mountains, but also because their inhabitants - people of ladin culture and of tridentine hospitality - are discreet hosts, who are both projected into the future and very careful of their own roots; respectful of the place where they are fortunate to live in, but in continuous evolution searching the right dimension of their growth. in this context, the effort to stimulate the interest of tourists in using skilifts must be pointed out.
the latest plants - cableways designed by world-famous designers such as pinifarina, automatic coupling chair-lifts and several skilifts - enable an hourly capacity of 34.000 passengers without any particular problems of comfort or safety and shorten considerably waits at departure stations.
in case of need, 70 of the over 100 km ski long slopes, can be covered with artificial snow.
snowcats and snowmakers assure slopes covered with fresh snow from december to april. restaurants, typical mountain huts, equipped solariums are available for people who want to have fun with skiing on the one hand and sunbathe and get tanned on the other hand. as far as panorama is concerned, the valley of moena, which is surrounded by the mountains of catinaccio, latemar and monzoni, has deserved the name of “fairy of the dolomites” and is one of the favourite ski and holiday resort whether in summer or in winter. the gorgeous and sunny col of s. pellegrino pass (1918 metres above sea-level and only 10 km off moena) represents in winter the ideal place for a full immersion in skiing, as ski slopes and cross-country ski courses begin very close to the main entrances of hotels; in summer it is the ideal starting point for excursions and walks in one of the most beautiful and unpolluted spot in the dolomites.
