A magical winter tale
We all know that wonderful sensation of pure peace which a fresh winter morning looking out across splendid snow capped peaks can give. On those ‘to be treasured’ moments all seems so much more genuine and it is as if the very snow itself is soft and fluffy and made for our enjoyment. Dolomiti Superski ensures snow and slopes of an outstanding quality and presented in perfect condition: 1200 km of slopes, 90% of which are to be found at an altitude between 1.500 - 3.269 metres. What more do you wish? Excellent snow conditions in an unbeatable sun soaked ambience!
Technology serving Nature
Have you ever heard of the tales of Frau Holle? She is the sweet lady living in a piece of paradise and when she shakes the sheets from the window snow falls to the ground. Well, at long last the lady can take a well deserved rest for news is that almost 100% of Dolomiti Superski slopes have modern snowmaking systems. It is not so much a case of artificial snow but of pure crystal-like water originating from mountain streams and torrents being transformed into fine particles free from any additives.
The snow crystal secret
A snow flake weighs a few thousand grams only and when it reaches the ground it is as if it still floats. No two crystals are alike; not for nothing is it that the inhabitants of the Polar North have more than 10 words to describe types of snow. To reproduce this effect it is necessary that water is pumped out at a very high pressure level and as it falls in sub freezing conditions it transforms into snow. Frau Holle is as happy as can be!!
