It ranges from "Alpe Tognola" to "Punta Ces" with 45 km of runs between 1404 mt. and 2.357 mt. You can access from cableway Tognola, south of San Martino di Castrozza, or with the chairlift Ces, on the western side of the country. Developed on slopes with different exposures (to ensure optimal conditions for snow both in the morning and in the afternoon) the different runs are an interesting circuit and very pleasurable, from the hard Direttissima, Tognola One and Kristiania to red runs (among others the Colbricon, Cima Tognola, the Tognola Three), from the turistic slopes (Scandola, Conca, Valboneta etc.) to field school for beginners.

After the runway contributed to the "Rododendro" and later in "Tognola 3" to arrive at 1400 meters after a drop of more than 6 km and an height difference of more than 900 meters.
• "Direttissima": the other main black runway of "Carousel Huts" that starts from 2250 mt. of "Punta Ces" to San Martino di Castrozza.
• "Cristiania": it's a very technical run, with excellent snow even in very hot days due to exposure to the north; very steep sections alternate with fast plains from "Cima Tognola" to "Malga Valcigolera" (Valcigolera Hut).

Off-piste skiing

The more wild skiers have vast territories to explore, in striking routes, in the woods on lower shares or in the wide open spaces beyond the 2000 meters. Among the most known areas for off-piste skiing we remember you the gentle wooded slopes of Alpe Tognola and steep downhill in Val Cigolera, but especially the dramatic downhill for expert skier from Cima Rosetta: reached by cable car share 2700 meters, you can run along the steep slope headlong toward San Martino di Castrozza, 1300 meters below. In off-piste skiing the precautions are never too many: should be carefully valuated the conditions of snow, the stability of slopes and the degree of danger of avalanches.
