Granted, it doesn’t always take two skis – snowboarders do just fine with one. But whether you’re on skis or a board, the Eggental Dolomites are a true paradise for winter sports lovers.
For the youngest skiers, the fun starts almost right at the doorstep of Hotel Gasthof Stern. The village has long run its own small lift with a practice slope, where children (and beginners of any age) can get comfortable with those initially awkward boards on their feet.
Once they’ve found their footing, the real adventure begins: hop on the free shuttle to the Obereggen ski resort, where 48 kilometres of slopes for all levels await, along with 18 modern lifts, a snow park, and a floodlit system that even lets you ski under the stars. Obereggen is one of the most expansive and well-equipped ski areas in the Dolomites – and it’s just minutes away.
Looking for a change of scenery? Just 15 minutes from Deutschnofen is the Carezza ski area, offering another 40 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes in all colours – blue, red and black – nestled dramatically at the foot of rugged Dolomite peaks above Lake Carezza. It’s ideal for both families and ambitious skiers.
Whether it’s for the thrill, the views, or the après-ski, skiing in the Dolomites is an experience you won’t soon forget.
