San Martino di Castrozza

Italy · Trentino · 1,400m - 2,400m · 60 km of pistes · 16 lifts · Dolomiti Superski

Summary

San Martino di Castrozza is the panoramic balcony of Dolomiti Superski, situated at the southern edge of the domain at the foot of Pale di San Martino, one of the most spectacular and imposing massifs in the Dolomites. With 60 km of pistes between 1,400m and 2,400m and 16 lifts, it combines two sectors: San Martino (more technical) and Passo Rolle (more family-friendly), connected by ski bus (~20 min).

The resort enjoys many hours of sunshine due to its southern aspect and is surrounded by the Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino Natural Park, giving it the character of skiing in protected nature.
