Tarvisio is the most known skiing resort in Friuli Eastern Alps. In the middle of Val Canale, this alpine resort lies at the north-eastern edge of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in the very meeting point among Italy, Slovenia and Austria. This resort is well connected with Udine-Tarvisio motorway and the international railway parallel to it; and is less than 500 Km away from Milan and less than 300 Km away from Venice.
The ski area is the largest in Friuli with its 859 square meters, and every two years hosts the woman alpine skiing World Cup. There are two different skiing areas: in Monte Lussari, where there is the old village, and in Monte Florianca, connected by the four-seat chairlift “Prasnig”. There are 33 Km of alpine skiing slopes. “Di Prampero” slope is thrilling: during a 1000 m dive from Monte Lussari, you reach the valley in 4 Km, arriving in front of Camporosso village, lightened for nocturne skiing. Other interesting slopes are the clack Priesing, the Florianca and Alpe Limerza.
At the bottom of the valley, you will find 60 Km of runs for Nordic skiing, with different difficulty levels: from the difficult 7.5 Km on Piana del Priesnig (Arena Paruzzi, a competitive run dedicated to the champion Gabriella Paruzzi, born in this area) to the easy ring of 4 Km on Piana di Camporosso, or in Piana dell’Angelo, or even in Val Saisera, in Malborghetto-Valbruna area, where you will find two medium-level rings. In Fusine plain, there are 14 Km of trails for cross-country skiers and mushers with their dog sled. Snowboarders can’t miss Gold Park snow park, at the starting point of Tarvisio del Duca D’Aosta ski lifts (348.2564749). The amusement park on the snow, in Piana dell’Angelo between Tarvisio and Camporosso, offers snowtubing, toboggan areas, inflatables, a ski school area for children, a mini jump and a sledge lift going from Colle del Combattente down to the park centre. In Pontebba, you will also find the Ice Stadium, opened to the public and headquarter of Aquile, an A-series Italian hockey team.
