The skitour

The Santa Croce ski tour holds, without doubt, a front row place in the panoramic-gastronomic skiing excursions in the Dolomites. From Col Alto or Piz Sorega to Santa Croce, all still with your skis attached, thanks to the Colz chair lift in the centre of La Villa.

The area, thanks to its slopes of easy - medium difficulty, is ideal both for families and skiers who want to spend a relaxing day at one with the nature and culture of our valley. Kissed by the sun during the whole winter, the gastronomic tour offers breath-taking views over a wide hollow of Ladin woods and hamlets. A glance at the parish church of Badia, the birthplace of Saint Freinademetz and the traditional “viles”, the Fussé, Coz and Pransarores hamlets are a “must” just before reaching the Santa Croce church at the foot of the homonymous mountain.

For gourmets

There will be no shortage of various delicacies in each of the refuges within the Santa Croce Skitour area. Local gastronomic specialities may be tasted along the whole route, at the eight refuges, which are part of the singular Gourmet SKITOUR. Each Alpine building is, in fact, specialized in the presentation of a certain dishes which will be combined with an excellent wine from South Tyrol. The eight family-owned refuges offer all the characteristics that make this lovely region of the South Tyrol such a pleasure to visit: a warm welcome by genuinely friendly staff and lovely Ladin decor - all enhanced by excellent quality and exceptional value for money.
