Itinerary
DAY 1: Arrival Val di Fiemme
Individual arrival at the hotel in Val di Fiemme. Free, unguarded public car park near the hotel.
DAY 2: Lavazé
The cross-country skiing centre is located on the Lavazé Pass, on a plateau between Trentino and South Tyrol. The cross-country skiing network includes over 80 km of trails, perfectly groomed by a professional technical team. The enchanting view from the pass, the natural environment of the trails and the sun that shines on most of the route are the main features of this place, which is an ideal destination for all lovers of cross-country skiing. The connection with Oclini, a little higher up, has increased the number of possible routes and opened up the possibility of running until spring.
DAY 3: Seiser Alm (Alpe di Siusi) Rest day or excursion to Trento
The cross-country skiing network of the Seiseralm has a total of 80 kilometres of sunny trails at an altitude of between 1,800 and 2,200 metres. The trails are double or quadruple-tracked and excellently prepared. The landscape is truly unique - Sassolungo, Sassopiatto and Sciliar are within reach. In addition to the enjoyment of the landscape and the sporting challenge, the largest high alpine pasture in Europe also offers culinary delights: numerous huts along the trails invite you to linger and serve traditional South Tyrolean dishes in a cosy atmosphere.
DAY 4: Rest day or excursion to Trento
Either spend a leisurely day in Val di Fiemmes or take a trip to Trento. Trento is a city of two cultures. Central Europe and Italy meet there and Alpine flair gives way to Mediterranean lightness. During a tour of the city, you will discover old and new art treasures, admire historic palazzi with wonderful Renaissance frescoes and enjoy a magnificent mountain view at the same time.
DAY 5: Canazei
The mostly easy trails (a good 45km), with minimal differences in altitude and small humps, are always perfectly prepared thanks to an efficient artificial snow system and offer all cross-country skiing enthusiasts an unforgettable skiing experience with magnificent views of the Sella, Pordoi and Gran Vernel.
