This type of network is at the heart of the largest and the most beautiful skiing areas in the world. Incidentally, the Dolomites network was also used as a model to recreate other similar skiing areas around the globe.
Diverse and fascinating: 1,200 km of slopes
The Dolomiti Superski is so big that you will need more than one holiday to learn all of its facets. You can go on 1,200 km of slopes as much as you want, have fun across the fun parks in the region and enjoy the uniquely beautiful views. Modern mountain lifts will take you to where you would like to start your ski tour. The Marmolada, Ladin valleys or the Tre Cime: discover the breathtaking rich diversity of the mountainous landscape.
