Skiing in the Dolomites
Fast turns, the air whipping against your face, and the sensation of flying: downhill skiing, also known as alpine skiing, is one of the most exciting and dynamic activities to enjoy during the winter months in the Dolomites.
“Downhill skiing is like flying: the freedom you feel is incomparable.”
– Bode Miller
It involves descending the slopes while gliding on snow along groomed pistes, using specific skis and boots that ensure control and stability. Compared to cross-country skiing, which takes place on flatter and hilly trails and is perfect for those who want to explore nature at a slower pace, alpine skiing is the ideal choice for those who love adrenaline and the thrill of speed.
Even beginners can also take part in this sport, thanks to experienced instructors and the availability of pistes suitable for every level of experience: from the easier ones for those taking their first steps to the more technical slopes for the more adventurous.
The cozy mountain lodges offer skiers a pleasant break, where you can enjoy local cuisine, sip a hot drink and recharge your energy before resuming skiing.
“Downhill skiing is a meditation in motion, where the coldness of the air mixes with the heat of passion.”
