Cima Piazzi – San Colombano
About the area
Cima Piazzi – San Colombano is a red-run area: of 23 km of pistes, 16 km are red, 6 km blue and only about 1% black. That makes it a solid choice for intermediates who want to ski laps on similar terrain all day. Beginners can start here, but with reservations: 27% of the pistes are green or blue, though there are three magic carpets for first steps and seven short easy runs beside a lift base. Families get the same mixed picture. Experts have little to work with, with no real black or freeride terrain and 647 m as the biggest vertical on a single run.
Ten lifts serve the slopes: one gondola, three chairlifts, three platters and three magic carpets. The gondola means small children can be loaded without a chairlift. Skiing runs from 1,337 m to 2,366 m, with the longest descent measuring 3,185 m.
