Improvements for 2017\/18<\/strong><\/p>\n

The area has been working hard to build the infrastructure and improve the offer for holidaymakers. The lift company this year has invested nearly 70 million Euros in new facilities and updating the slopes, of which \u20ac12 million has gone into improving the snowmaking.<\/p>\n

We take a look at the work that\u2019s been done improving the ski area since last winter:<\/p>\n

Cortina<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Faloria piste has been widened between the Faloria hut and Pian Girilada. This work has increased the skiable surface by 1500m2. There\u2019s also a new 905m challenging black slope called \u2018Scoiattolo\u2019, served by the Bigontina chair.<\/p>\n

Snowmaking has been improved on Col Rodella and Belvedere, while the 2-seater chairlifts Vajolet 1 and Vajolet 2 have been replaced with two 4-seater chairlifts. The new Vajolet 1 lift has a capacity of 1500 skiers p\/h, and the Vajolet 2 1800 p\/h. Both lifts can also be used by pedestrians.<\/p>\n

In the Ciampac area, the \u2018Alba \u2013 Ciampac\u2019 cable car has been replaced with a new 10-seater cabin lift and the 2-seater chair \u2018Roseal\u2019 has been replaced with a 4-seater chairlift.<\/p>\n
