Gourmet Ski Safari

Between the Dolomites and the vineyards

You stay in the lovely village Seis am Schlern / Siusi allo Sciliar in this marvellous "gourmet ski safari". The village is directly connected with the world's biggest ski area "Dolomite Superski". After your skiing day, you will have the chance to taste our wines in one of the famous wine places around Bozen / Bolzano and the Eisack / Isarco valley where you can relish a really southern flair.

Every day, you experience new skiing areas from the Rosengarten / Catinaccio to the Marmolada and from the Sella to Cortina and at the same time you can try our lovely South Tyrolean and Italian cuisines as well as fantastic tasting wines. One of the highlights is the overnight in one of our cosy mountain inns "Fucchiade" on the pass of Pellegrino (2,000 m above sea level) where you get the chance to eat fantastic Ladin food!

ITINERARY:

(subject to change without prior notice)

Day 1: Welcome

Meet your guides and fellow safari goers at 6:00 pm in the hotel in Tires. Over welcome drinks you will be issued your lift pass and be briefed about the procedure for the week. Excess baggage may be left here if not required during the safari.

Day 2: Obereggen - Alpe di Luisa

Start out on the open slopes under the rugged cliffs of the Rosengarten (Rose Garden) range. From the Rosegarden Hut at 2.370 m, ski the long 1.250 v.m. run down to Nova Levante where a taxi waits to take you to Obereggen (25 Min) and the modern ski area on the Latemar with its 65 km of well-prepared runs and cosy mountain bars. In the late afternoon, ski to the other side of the valley and the Alpi di Luisa. Your overnight stay will be at 2.050 m in a traditional mountain guesthouse with shared facilities and a spectacular view of the Pala group, the Latemar and the Catinaccio.

Day 3: Pala group

Begin with gliding down the well-prepared runs of the Luisa or some interesting off-piste excursions. Then move on to the Rolle Pass and the ski area of San Martino di Castrozza with more choices of off-piste skiing for the adventurous ones. Here, you will spend 2 nights in a *** Hotel.

Day 4: San Martino di Castrozza

Tognola, Malga Ces, and the Ski Carousel of San Martino have approx. 60 km of prepared open and forest runs. The cable car to the Rosetta (2.740 m) in good weather conditions takes you to steep, long, off-piste areas between the huge craggy cliffs.

Day 5: Passo San Pellegrino

Ski the steep northfacing slopes and wide long runs from Col Margherita to Passo San Pellegrino with its sunny slopes and frequent spring snow conditions. In the afternoon, there is the long 1.300 v.m. run to Falcade where our transfer vehicle meets you to take you to Sotto Guda at the foot of the Marmolada glacier.

Day 6 : Pellegrino - Fucchiade

Day 7: Marmolada - Fassa Valley

The wide northfacing slopes of the glacier provide ample off-piste excitement. Also, its long perfectly prepared runs are a skier's dream. (Unfortuantely the glacier is open only when weather conditions permit). Then ski via Arrabba and Canazei to the areas of the Gardena Valley: Seceda (2.520 m), descend to Ortisei (1.200 m).
