cross-country skiing in the Dolomites

The Cross-Country Skiing Centre, Armentarola and 17km's of tracks at Corvara

Cross country skiing in this area is limited but there are a couple of delightful options in the Val Badia, which expose you to magnificent scenery and woodland tranquility. We generally use the cross-country skiing centre at nearby Armentarola, where a series of well-marked woodland tracks provide circular routes (skating and classic) of varying difficulty and length.

The Centre at Armentarola is a spectacular location dominated by the stunning walls of the Conturines Massif. It is not far from Pedraces and Corvara. Skis and shoes can be hired and lessons are available too. There is a charming bar and restaurant with an attractive sun terrace, where you can 'recharge your batteries' between the various route itineraries.

in beautiful surrondings

Corvara has 17kms of cross country tracks, including a stunning 5km woodland route under the impressive flanks of the Sella. Further afield, there is Cortina, Val Gardena, Pustertal and Dobbiaco, all offering similarly beautiful itineraries, although having your own transport would be recommended if these were of interest.
