The wintry, snow-covered Alpe di Siusi is a true paradise for cross-country ski enthusiasts and hikers. The seemingly endless wide open spaces, the gently rolling hills, the sunny dells, the forest, and the meadows – and everything against the magnificent backdrop of the towering Dolomites (World Natural Heritage site) – invite you to explore them, either on cross-country skis or by foot. An extensive network of cross-country courses and winter hiking trails means you have a great variety of possible routes – all of them offering wondrous beauty.
Cross-country ski enthusiasts can choose from 80 km of courses of different levels of difficulty. All of the cross-country ski courses have double or quadruple lanes and are prepared for skating. On the other hand, the more than 30 km of winter hiking trails enable hikers to take their time and explore – close up – the beautiful landscapes of the high-altitude plateau.
