Sappada and Zoncolan: authentic Carnia between skiing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing

Two districts, different in size and character, united by the same idea of an accessible and authentic mountain, where the winter soul of both can be experienced even in March (the season ends on 22 March). Sappada, in the northernmost part of the Carnic Alps, offers a ski area between 1,245 and 2,024 metres above sea level, with 15 kilometres of downhill slopes (daily adult ski pass for 44 euro) and 14 kilometres of Nordic skiing rings. The environment is cosy, suitable for families and intermediate skiers, with panoramic tracks that look out over the Friulian Dolomites and several options to take advantage of the many hours of daylight including guided snowshoeing and walks in the wooden villages, sunset hikes to refuges such as Monte Ferro or dog sled rides. A few kilometres away, in Forni Avoltri, the Carnia Arena, a federal biathlon centre, consolidates the area's Nordic vocation, offering technical routes immersed in the still snow-covered forests. In Ravascletto, on the other hand, Monte Zoncolan introduces the concept of verticality: the ski slopes develop between 952 and 1,970 metres with a difference in altitude of over a thousand metres and along 23 kilometres of tracks served by programmed snowmaking systems and the historic Ravascletto-Zoncolan cableway, an icon of the Carnic mountains, which quickly connects the valley floor to the ski areas.
