Dolomites: All eyes on winter

On December 3, 2011 the Alpe di Siusi kicks off the winter season 2011/2012. Up to April 15, 2012 the Alpe di Siusi winter is all about skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing.

First snow and Christmas atmosphere set the tone in December: the Christmas market in Castelrotto offers traditional handcraft and Christmas baking. Get together in the historic centre and enjoy mulled vine and Christmas sounds! For the first time Castelrotto is the setting for a Krampus procession: about 500 Krampuses from all over the Alps will meet on December 10 in the picturesque village at the foot of the Sciliar Mountain and paint the town red.
For fans of high speed, there is the Highspeed Race on December 11, 2011: four-man teams with at least one woman will compete against each other – and against challenger and former Italian ski racer Kristian Ghedina.

In January the Alpe di Siusi holiday region is the right place to be for music lovers, bon vivants and actives. At the traditional "Hoazetkuchl" culinary festival, restaurants in Castelrotto dish up goulash soup, rye bread and other wedding food typical in the ancient times. On January 22, 2012 you can try the game of golf on snow. The musical highlight is the Alpe di Siusi WinterMusicFestival Swing on Snow: from January 22 to 29 alpine sounds emerge on the slopes and in the huts of the Alpe di Siusi and in the villages at the foot of the Sciliar Mountain.

Sports, sports, sports is the message in February and March: whether cross-country race by night, Red Bull Jib Ski Kings or alpine combination of the Blue Ribbon Race, the winter events offer competition combined with lots of fun.

In April the slopes on the Alpe di Siusi are kissed by the sun. Sun skiers head down the slopes and enjoy the magic in a mountain hut.
