About the area
Drei Zinnen – Tre Cime spreads about 101 km of pistes across the Dolomites, and the mix explains who it is for: 46 km, or 45%, are green and blue, while only 9 km (9%) are black or freeride terrain. That makes it a solid choice for beginners and families, with six magic carpets for first turns, and a weak pick for experts looking for steep, sustained descents. Intermediates get the largest share of variety on the 29 km of red runs.
Thirty-six lifts serve the area, including seven gondolas or cable cars — useful with small children, since there is no chairlift loading to manage — plus seven chairlifts and fourteen platters. Slopes run between 1,134 m and 2,221 m, so the higher sectors hold snow better than the valley returns. There are also about 21 km of cross-country trails.
