The gondola lift will take you to the Belvedere Ski Area, then it's down to Pecol where you can catch the cableway to Col dei Rossi and admire the Marmolada glacier right in front of you in all its grandeur.

The new Funifor ropeway will take you from Col dei Rossi to Alba, where you can then climb to the Ciampac Ski Area via cableway. Having reached Sella Brunech, you'll be able to enjoy a spectacular view of Punta Penia and the southern face of the Marmolada. From here, you descend the Val Jumela along a wide slope and take the Pala del Geiger chairlift to climb to an altitude of 2,354 m where the view of the Val Monzoni unfolds, with Punta Valacia, Cima Undici (Elferkofel) and Cima Dodici (Zwölferkofel) to the east.

This is the starting point for a long descent that takes you down the Valvacin red piste, which is about 1,640 metres long. As you ski, you'll be treated to a singular view of the Saslonch group, where the Sasso Piatto can also be admired. Near the end of the Valvacin slope, it's worth stopping to see the view of the famous Catinaccio/Rosengarten massif, right ahead of you. Depending on your technical skill, you can now choose the Panorama red piste or the recent Vulcano technical black piste down to Pozza di Fassa. A free shuttle will take you from Pozza to Pera in 5-10 minutes, to the start of the Vajolet1 chairlift. When you reach the end of the charlifts, you'll be at an altitude of 2,000 metres, in Ciampedie, also called "Campo di Dio" (or "Field of God"), a real "spectator terrace" over the Val di Fassa and the Dolomites, also famous for the extraordinary Vajolet Towers and the Catinaccio group. This is the ideal location for a relaxing break, since there are numerous lodges with terraces providing further magnificent all-round views of the Dolomites.
