VAL D'EG CAREZZA AND OBEREGGEN: DOLOMITI SUPERSKI

Nestling in the heart of the Dolomites – since 2009 a UNESCO World Heritage Site – Eggental-Val d’Ega is a mountain valley with seven pretty villages and two sun-bathed ski resorts, Obereggen and Carezza, located at the foot of the towering Rosengarten and Latemar mountain chains. One of the most popular family-friendly ski areas in Italy’s northern Südtirol-Alto Adige province, it offers 90 kilometres of ski pistes, 100 kilometres of cross-country skiing, four toboggan runs and countless winter walking trails. Expert skiers, cruisers and snowboarders find themselves drawn to Obereggen, while families with children will simply love Carezza.

The ski resorts in the Eggental-Val d’Ega promise an unforgettable winter experience in the heart of nature. At the same time, they lie just a 20-minute drive from the regional capital Bozen/Bolzano. The family ski area of Carezza can be reached quickly and easily by cable car from Nova Levante (1182m), the largest village in Val d’Ega. Obereggen is accessible via a ski bus from the neighbouring villages of Nova Ponente, Ega and Monte San Pietro. Visitors to the region shouldn’t miss out on the chance to check out a truly unique highlight: the province’s only star observatory and the South Tyrol Planetarium in the mountain village of Collepietra.

Pala di Santa piste - Obereggen

OBEREGGEN – SKI SEASON 29 NOVEMBER 2019 7PM UNTIL 19 APRIL 2020 Winter visitors to Obereggen can look forward to 49 kilometres of perfectly prepared pistes as well as two toboggan runs. The ski pistes on offer range from easy slopes for beginners to black runs for experts. There are a total of 18 lifts and cable cars transporting skiers and snowboarders onto the mountain, including the brand new eight-man chairlift onto the Reiterjoch opened in the winter of 2019/20. This comprehensive network of state-of-the-art lifts means almost zero queues and therefore more time on the sunny slopes.

The Obereggen ski pass also gives holders access to 60km of pistes in the neighbouring Val di Fiemme resort.

The ski resort of Obereggen-Latemar has been among the best in the Alps for many years and forms part of Dolomiti Superski, the

TRANSPORT CAPACITY

world’s largest network of ski pistes. It is little surprise that the resort was awarded five out of five stars in 2018 by the internationally renowned website Skiresort.de and crowned winner in the category ski resorts with up to 60km of pistes in recognition of its lifts, slopes, outstanding piste grooming, excellent restaurants and wellmaintained snowparks.

Visitors who like to combine fine skiing with dine dining will find exactly what they are looking for in Obereggen. Dotted throughout the resort are 16 cosy mountain huts with large sun-soaked terraces and delicious local food. The most eye-catching of these huts is without a doubt the Oberholzhütte at 2096 metres above sea level. This architectural jewel in the heart of the Dolomites offers magnificent 360° views of the mountain landscape. It has recently been joined by a second architectural highlight: the exclusive new après-ski location at the bottom of the cable car.

The resort’s 14 lifts leading up to 2337 metres above sea level offer skiers and snowboarders breathtaking views of the Dolomites.

It is little wonder that Carezza has received numerous international awards for its excellent pistes for all abilities and professional snowsports schools offering lessons for children and adults. Here, where the legendary King Laurin once reigned, today it is children who are in charge. The resort has two areas designed especially for children as well as a fun themed piste and a children’s entertainment programme and an indoor play room for bad-weather days.

Advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders will also find plenty to keep them busy in Carezza, from challenging pistes and snowboard parks to toboggan runs, cross-country skiing, snowshoe walking and freestyle. The cross-country skiing loop around the Angerlealm hut is open all winter thanks to state-of-the-art snow-making facilities.

In recent years Carezza has taken major steps to increase its energy efficiency. Thanks to careful planning and intelligent systems, the resort’s snow-making infrastructure is more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient than ever before.

Foodies can also look forward to numerous highlights in Carezza.

All in all the resort has 20 ski huts with sunny terraces next to the slopes offering a combination of Tyrolean and Italian delicacies. The highlight is Laurin‘s Lounge, the highest panoramic lounge in SüdtirolAlto Adige at 2337 metres above sea level.

MAGICAL, ALSO

IN SUMMER! With its beautiful lakes, lush forests and towering mountains, the Val d'Ega is one of the most magical and idyllic places in South Tyrol – a place where you can truly get away from it all and back to nature. Val d'Ega is just a 20-minute drive from the regional capital Bolzano and an excellent base for exploring many of the most popular activities in the province. With 300 days of sunshine a year on average, it is little wonder that so many guests have been visiting us for decades. They are drawn back year after year not only by the outstanding climate but also by the delicious local food and traditionally warm welcome which awaits visitors in the villages of Nova Ponente, Obereggen, Carezza, Ega, Monte S.Pietro, Nova Levante and Collepietra.

The Schlern-Rosengarten and Truden nature parks are home to 530km of trails ideal for hiking and biking, while rock climbing and golf are two further activities very popular in the region. Lush meadows, clear blue skies, fresh mountain air and breathtaking views of some of the world’s most beautiful mountains make every holiday in the heart of the Dolomites an unforgettable experience.
