Alpe di Siusi Winter Finale

One month left to enjoy the cold time of the year on the Alpe di Siusi! We have some suggestions for you.

Blue Riband – the competition. In past times the ship with the record for the transatlantic crossing got the Blue Riband trophy. Now the skiers on the Alpe di Siusi measure themselves in an alpine combination and compete for the Blue Riband.

Act like a cross-country star, feel like a child. Cross-country skiing or tobogganing? The choice is up to you! During a cross-country skiing lesson beginners in this healthiest of all winter sports learn the right technique and strive to be like Marit Bjørgen, Petter Northug & co. When you go for a toboggan ride the age doesn't matter – racing downhill you will remember your childhood days!

Skiing on sunny slopes. When the winter season comes to an end, it's time for the Dolomiti Superski offers. With Dolomiti Super Sun you get a fun ski day for free. With Dolomiti Super Kids, the holiday is free for kids up to 8 years, youngsters up to 12 only pay half the price.

South Tyrolean savour. The huts along the slopes, trails and toboggan runs offer traditional South Tyrolean dishes mixed with Mediterranean finesse.

Escape the winter chill. And relax in a hay bath! Wrapped in healthful herbs from the Alpe di Siusi the metabolism is boosted. The pleasant hay bath lasts approx. 15-20 minutes.

Olaf Tufte practises on the Alpe di Siusi

Not only cross-country teams use the Alpe di Siusi as a training camp: also the Norwegian competition rower Olaf Tufte (Olympic gold medallist in single sculls in 2004 and 2008, world champion in single sculls in 2001 and 2003) currently practises at the high alpine pasture. On www.olaftufte.com you can find reports (in Norwegian) and photos of the training on the Alpe di Siusi.
