On this incredible Ski Safari, you’ll explore a wide variety of the finest ski resorts of the Dolomiti Superski. From San Vigilio di Marebbe, Plan de Corones, Val Gardena, Rosengarten Latemar, Val di Fassa, San Pellegrino, Trevalli, Civetta, Cortina d’Ampezzo, and back to Alta Badia, you’ll have 6 full days of skiing to get to know these mountains well. And one of the beauties of skiing in the Dolomites is that you can ski from resort to resort, returning to a base camp hotel, or moving from rifugio-to-rifugio each night. And, on this exciting ski safari, you’ll do both!

Each evening you’ll experience the welcoming atmosphere of a rifugio – an alpine mountain inn set high atop the mountains with excellent views – and savor the excellent culture and cuisine unique to the region. Crossing from region to region – the South Tyrol, Badia, and Cortina – your taste buds will enjoy the unique combination of flavors resulting from the disparate Italian, Austrian, and Ladin cultures found in these valleys.

With lift-service pistes to help you move from resort to resort, and this much terrain, you may never ski the same run twice!

Its location between 1,400 and 2,700 meters (4,593-8,858′) above sea level ensures optimal ski conditions throughout the winter, and offers breathtaking views of the most beautiful peaks of the Dolomites. Fast and comfortable ski lift connections, miles of wide, well-groomed slopes (130km / 81 miles), and the spaciousness of the ski area allow you to enjoy pleasant and safe skiing days.

From the start, quality was the main objective of this rifugio, and the excitement about the culinary highlights have made the hut into what is today: a rifugio for the sophisticated.

After lunch, ski around the area and then to your rifugio for the night, located in a beautiful panoramic position on the Col Rodella at 2,440 meters (8,005′) in the heart of the Fassa Valley.
