you need to go south as well. You can see The Lakes, Snowdonia, and Blackpool tower on a good day. You'd struggle to ski there now as they've put a golf course on it. |
I've skied on it since it was a golf course. Probably circa 1990.

So it can definitely class as a bone fide ski area then The first hole is all downhil IIRC and the practice ground also on a slope. Will have been about 1985 since I played golf there though,

@Dave of the Marmottes, @endoman, thinking about it, do I remember right that one of the par3's has a quite elevated tee position? Or am i thinking of Bentham?

@thecramps, nothing overly extreme IIRC, used to be kids using the bunkers as sand pits and riding motorbikes all over the place. Don't know Bentham. Most elevated par 3 I have played is probably the one on the back nine at Hollinwell.

Sella Ronda, looking down on the Pradel-Rodella gondola, think the chairlift in foreground is 153 on piste map?

@albob, which end/side of the SR is that?
|
|
|
|
|
|
@ratkinsonuk, I was doing an edit to the original when you posted
It is the area above Campitello, looking towards the main Canazei area. Think it is called Rodella

You know it makes sense.

Ummm, afraid I'm still none the wiser, but Google Maps tells me it's the South West corner of SR. The preseason I'm interested is that it looks like really good fun, so I'm mentally calculating if I can get there and back from Alleghe in a morning.
And now, back to normal viewing.....

Thanks @albob.
Marmaloda closed today - guess I'm not going to get too far - back to bed
I guess it's easier for Dolomiti to do this, as basically it's just a big loop, but it's a shame some of the other larger resorts don't have a planner like this. Think it's a great little idea.

Interesting reading. Hopefully the Alleghe bus drops at the first proper chair instead of the bottom of the drag. The thread didn't seem too clear on that.

I see your thinking,@ratkinsonuk, @albob, but it's in the Alps, though not a huge resort.

@VaDinci,
Looks vaguely like the Matterhorn in the background I'm guessing furiously Vercorin?

going on what t bar has said and the shadows --- Leukerbad ?
|
|
|

Its in a country just to the east of where you're concentrating on, @T Bar, @albob, .
It boasts it has the longest red run in the country. Not sure if that's right, but it is 1500m vertical and is the only pisted run in the resort.
Last clue, the resort is said to be similar in many ways to La Grave.
