FIRST WORLD WAR SKI TOUR on Dolomites

First world war ski tour: a guided skitour on the Dolomites:

More then 80 km of history and nature, along a perfectly prepared sloped in the unique Dolomites landscape.
Total length of the slopes: 31 km, total length of the lifts: 18 km, total time: about 7 hours.

The centre point of the First World War ski tour is the symbolic mountain of the 1st world war, Mount Col di Lana.
The 80 km (49 mi) tour takes you around this mountain. Everywhere, you will find traces of World War 1: Artefacts from the war era, trenches running right through the rocks, parapet walks and forts.

In Alta Badia, you will start in Corvara and go to Campolongo Pass until you reach Arabba. Via Arabba and Porta Vescovo, you will reach Malga Ciapela/Marmolada. From here, you can take a detour to Marmolada Glacier (3,342 m / 10,964 ft).

Continue with the ski bus to Alleghe, where you can explore the runs of the skiing region Civetta.
The ski bus takes you from Pescul to the Fedare hut (Giau Pass). From the Fedare slope you reach the forcella Croda Negra (Croda Negra pass) with a two-seater chair-lift.
On the north side of the Forcella Negra the new Averau-Troi ski track brings you to the Col Gallina and to Passo Falzarego where you continue for Alta Badia with the Lagazuoi ski tour.

For the whole tour you need approximately 7 hours. Therefore, we recommend to take off in the early morning in order to finish the tour in time before the lifts close.
