Tips

  • If you want to complete the First World War ski tour in a single day, you should set off early. Plan for at least six to eight hours. You can also complete it over two days, giving you more time to explore the different ski resorts and locations.
  • The Civetta ski resort is a popular starting point for the First World War ski tour, but you can also start from San Cassiano, Corvara, Arabba, and Malga Ciapela.
  • The runs from Lagazuoi to Armentarola and from Punta Rocca over the Marmolada glacier to Malga Ciapela are stunning. Covering 12 km, these are the longest slopes in the Dolomites.
