On this trip we will join forces with the Blue Ridge Ski Council (BRSC) for their annual" Eurofest" ski extravaganza, featuring participants from several different local ski clubs, and including parties, dinners, various social events and an optional post-trip excursion to the famous Lake Como resort area.
If you’re looking to experience as much of Italy's ski terrain as is possible then the centrally located Val di Fassa (Fassa Valley) ski resort is a great choice! The interconnected resort system, which is located in the beautiful Trentino-Alto Adige region of the Dolomites is the second largest in Europe and features nine ski areas and 80 high-capacity lifts, including its renowned Sella Ronda ski circuit, a challenging but very rewarding experience. Also accessible are the "Great War" and the "Panorama" Tours, rounding out the most varied and exhilerating skiing adventure possible.
Val di Fassa is also linked to 200 kilometers (125 miles) of ski terrain and seven villages as well as the 500 kilometers (310 miles) of the Dolomiti Superski, whose ski pass is included with this trip. The vast network of trails and lifts provide lots of opportunities for every ski level and abilities - from beginners to experts.
