Sappada in th
e winter
A perfectly sized skiing district. First of all for children, with several skiing schools in sun-filled positions. And runs for the more expert that reach 2100 meter heights and that are served by 14 ski lifts and 4 chair lifts. Snow is guaranteed from December to April thanks to a programmed artificial snow system that covers over 80% of the runs.
The longest and most fascinating cross-country ski run (15 kilometers), used for world level races, and ice skating rinks, characteristic night clubs, dance discotheques and, for the unrelenting, even an illuminated ski run for evening skiing. Plus, in February, one of the most famous and original of mountain carinvals.
Winter Covered with a mantle of snow, colours glimmer through it as if to highlight their absence. In winter, landscape, light and snow combine together to arouse emotions. The snow embodies the mystery and silence of the landscape, embroiders broken, bare twigs and restores them the original dark colour of the wood, full of sleeping life under a thin layer of ice. It highlights the red of dry autumn leaves, evenly spreads the pale sunlight and moonlight.
It brightens the dim
magenta light of dawn, and captures the twilight shadows, the glitterings against the
light, the patterns drawn by the wind on this surface, as if the night stole all the
shades of blue to give them back in the daytime. This is the rhythm of a cycle of wonders
forever repeating itself: the peaceful morning light, long shadows in the light of the
setting sun, a white stillness embracing the Dolomites.The snow cleanses everything it touches, and dresses trees in white. At sunset all is still, waiting for morning, and for the cycle to start over again...
