Ski area Paganella

With the "Paganella" lift pass, you have around 40 kilometres of pistes (including ski routes) and 20 lifts between 1,030 and 2,125 m altitude at your disposal. With the 6-day Paganella lift pass, you can ski one day in the Folgaria-Lavarone ski area and one day in the Monte Bondone ski area (not valid from 21 December 2024 to 6 January 2025). From Andalo and the neighbouring village of Fai della Paganella, you can quickly reach the varied ski area. The predominantly intermediate and easy slopes are ideal for families. In the lower-lying sections, the routes mostly lead through idyllic spruce forests and offer the most beautiful fun on the slopes.

Not to be missed is the 5 km long Olympic downhill run, which covers 1,075 metres in altitude. Even the Norwegian and US ski teams have set up their European training centre here and have their World and European Cup skiers train for the combined, super-G and giant slalom. The deep snow areas that open up at the summit of the Paganella are also fantastic. Boarders can let off steam in the "Dosson" snow park.

The ski area also offers great variety for families with children. Four practice slopes at different altitudes are designed for little ski beginners. At the Pian Dosson hut at 1,450 metres, for example, there is a children's play park where kids can have fun for free in the play area and on a large bouncy castle and practise their first attempts at skiing on the demarcated practice area with additional inflatable obstacles. At 1,333 m, there is also the Biblioigloo and the Kids Park Gaggia, which offers a mini snowtubing track with colourful tyres on a child-friendly route down into the valley.

The "Combi (5+1)" lift pass is valid for 6 days on all pistes in the Paganella ski area and 1 day in one of the other ski areas of the Skirama, e.g. Folgarida-Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Passo del Tonale, Pejo, Monte Bondone or Folgaria.

Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy

To ensure safety on the ski slopes in Italy, stricter safety regulations have been in force since 2022. In order to use the ski areas, everyone must have liability insurance that covers damage to third parties. It will also be possible to take out this insurance on site for individual days. Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.

Night skiing Andalo

Italy offers more and more night ski areas, as skiing by night-time is getting and more popular and most ski areas provide at least a small part of their pistes with floodlight. In Andalo, in the ski area Paganella in the Dolomites, guest also have the opportunity to conquer the lifts by night. The Andalo-Doss Pelà gondola extends its opening hours for night-owls twice per week, and night skiers can turn night into day every Thursday and Friday from 19:30 - 22:30. The Cacciatori 1 piste is approx. 3 km long and offers everything a skier's heart desires. The Dosson hut serves food and drink until the late evening.
