About the area
Sansicario is intermediate country. Of roughly 34 km of marked pistes, about 25 km are red, so a confident parallel skier gets the most out of the place, while only 18 percent (about 6 km) is green or blue. Beginners can start here, but with reservations: there are four magic carpets and seven short easy runs beside a lift base, then the step up to red terrain comes quickly. Experts have little to work with — 3 km of black or freeride terrain, 8 percent of the total, and the biggest vertical on a single run is 522 m.
The ski area runs from 1,548 m to 2,674 m, and 13 lifts serve it: 3 gondolas, 3 chairlifts, a funicular, 2 platters and 4 magic carpets. The gondolas help with small children, who don't have to load a moving chair. The longest descent measures about 3 km.
