SKITOUR MERIDIANA ALTERNATIV
A day in the sunshine
They are called the points on the clock face: nine o'clock, ten,
eleven, midday and on to one, the Sesto peak in the Dolomites. Why not
experience all of this... and without any danger ! From Sesto the sun
can be seen from these points over majestic summits and you can read the
actual hour on the most impressive dial one could wish to find, that of
the sundial in the heavens. The 'Meridian' skiing tour is in reality a
trip in the sunshine on skis. Take either a romantic horse drawn sleigh
or a skibus, and soak up the magical surroundings. Setting off, we swing
up on the imposing 'Elmo' mountain (shaped like a helmet), an ideal skiing
resort for the whole family. The tour starts in the morning, when the
slopes glisten just as if they were silver and you fly towards Sesto as
if the clouds were carrying you along. Your horse drawn sleigh is waiting
for you there and the renowned Avellinese horses carry you onwards with
their bells tinkling as they go in the direction of the Fischlein Valley.
Two possibilities
Beneath 'ten o'clock' which is also at the Rotwandspitze (the red cliff)
- the Rotwand meadows spread out before us, a very special skiing paradise,
above all for the children. It's the next stop on the tour. If you're
feeling a little hungry, then noticing the tasty Val Pusteria specialities,
you'll be faced with a decision to make: either a short round trip - with
a romantic interlude reaching Sesto- Moos - or the more comprehensive
possibility, which leads on to a smooth, thrilling skiing run to the Kreuzberg
Pass. Innichen is the third stop on the 'Meridian'. The sun has already
long passed the midday point, but it's still too early for a taste of
culture in the Romanesque collegiate church or a relaxing bathing experience
in the pool. So we have one more skiing run from Haunold. This rocky giant
is a good 3,000 metres high and a real giant at that, as the locals will
tell you.
Tip:
The Elmo plateau is at centre stage in the resort and also a culinary
meeting point. In the cosy traditional rooms of the Elmo restaurants,
the 'Stuben', regional fish specialities are served. During the winter
season gourmets make their way up on the Elmo cable cars so that they
too can reach the peak of enjoyment.
