Alta Pusteria in Italy
Resort Guide
This resort is make up of seven unlinked ski areas located above as many villages. The largest and highest of these ski areas is the Helm area which has a top lift of 2200m. This area is linked by cable car and gondola to the next two largest resorts which are San Candido and Sexten. There are ski areas to suit all in this region from beginner runs to a World Cup ski and snowboard run at San Candido. The altitude of these resorts does not always guarantee snow but with 85% snowmaking cover it is very much compensated for.
Accomodation & Après Ski
The ski areas are well equipped with cosy Alpine log cabins for snacks and drinks on the mountain and the Helm restaurant is among the best of these, providing spectacular views of the Dolomite mountain range. There are around 100 restaurants scattered around the valley with around 26 of these in the main villages and town so you won?t be stuck for somewhere to eat. There are several dozen pizzerias in the area including the Martina and the Riego both of which are in Sesto and are highly recommended. For drinking Rudi?s Hutte is usually the liveliest place when the lifts close, but again there are plenty places around so you won?t struggle to find somewhere you like.
