45 km of fun and specialties on the slopes
Malghetta Tognola and malga fratazza
Take the Tognola cable car up to the 2,200 metres of Rifugio Tognola, where skiers can choose from a wide range of slopes: from the easy blue runs Rododendro, Conca and Scandola, to the longer, more panoramic Tognola Uno and Tognola Tre, which descend directly to San Martino di Castrozza. After a delicious break at Malghetta Tognola or Malga Fratazza, the tour continues by taking the Cigolera chairlift up to the 2,380 metres of Cima Tognola, the highest point in the entire Ski Area.
From here, you can choose to ski a few more runs on the Tognola side, or descend towards the Ces area via the beautiful Cristiania slope, which – thanks to its optimal north-facing exposure – guarantees excellent snow quality at any time of day and throughout the season.
Malga valcigolera and malga ces
From Val Cigolera, at the foot of the Cristiania slope, the welcoming Malga Valcigolera invites you to stop for a tasty break with sandwiches or traditional Trentino dishes. Then climb once more to 2,227 metres, reaching Punta Ces, where you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views on the Carosello: the view here stretches from the Pale range to the Lagorai, before descending towards the Vette Feltrine and the gentle Primiero Valley.
Along the slopes, there’s no shortage of places to stop – and a visit to Malga Ces is a must. Around lunchtime, treat yourself to a delicious snack or, for the more indulgent, a gourmet meal, taking advantage of the convenient Colbricon Express 10-seater cable car, which stops just a few turns away from the malga.
rifugio tognola and campo base
The tour continues once again towards the Tognola lifts, but not before taking on an unmissable descent along the Record slope – one of the most technical red runs in the ski area – accessible via the Valcigolera cable car. As sunset approaches, head back up to Alpe Tognola for a delicious cheese tasting paired with local specialities and Trentino wines.
At Rifugio Tognola, you can enjoy a truly special aperitif – a romantic toast on the terrace as the Pale glow pink, before your final run back down to the valley. And once your skis are off, your Carosello delle Malghe adventure isn’t quite over until you’ve stopped by the Après Ski Campo Base Tognola: music, fun and a lively atmosphere to round off your ski day – or keep the celebration going!
