Ski Areas
Bolzano Bozen and environs
Small but excellent: The Jochgrimm ski area is perfect for beginners and families. Four ski lifts connect the seven kilometres of slopes between the Schwarzhorn and Weißhorn peaks. The manageable size makes the ski area a popular destination for school classes or group excursions. In 'Fantiland', little ones can frolic in the snow and practice sledging, while cross-country skiers can glide through one of the world's best Nordic areas at the Lavazè cross-country ski centre. This centre has connections to the villages of Aldein/Aldino, Petersberg/Monte San Pietro, and Deutschnofen/Nova Ponente, where there are almost 80 km of high-altitude trails to explore. Those who want to enjoy views of famed Dolomite massifs such as the Rosengarten massif, Schlern or the Val di Fiemme mountains in peace and quiet, should hike over the snow-covered high plateau or stomp through the winter forest on snowshoes.
