The ski area fits the needs of every type of skier thanks to the variety of its slopes: 11 blue trails with different degrees of difficulty for beginners, 15 red runs for good skiers and a black run for the more experienced ones. In addition to that a large snow park is available for the growing number of snowboard lovers. For kids, beginners or for those who desire to improve their technique on the different ski disciplines, a team of more than one hundred and ninety ski instructors is available. Many of them are also english speakers and prepared to tutor disables and blind people thanks to dedicated programs which work on developing coordination and specific skills. The villages of Andalo and Fai della Paganella are directly connected with the ski area through an extensive network of 14 ski lifts (and 5 tapis roulant) which provides an hourly capacity of 27,000 person. The whole ski area can be enjoyed buying a single ski pass, while it’s also possible to test the slopes of the other resorts of SKIRAMA Dolomiti circuit (Monte Bondone, Folgaria, Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Folgarida – Marilleva, Pejo and Passo Tonale) acquiring the so called COMBI and SUPERSKIRAMA ski passes which allow to ski within the larger ski area of Trentino.
