Drei Zinnen Dolomites

ski lift in drei zinnen

The Drei Zinnen/ Three Peaks region (also known as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo) is part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site, recognised for its exceptional beauty and geological significance.

It is in the northeastern part of the Italian Alps on the border with Austria and named after the three iconic and highly recognisable peaks (Cima Grande, Cima Piccola and Cima Ovest) towering over the charming villages of Sesto, San Candido/ Innichen and Versciaco.

The area, part of the Dolomiti Superski consortium, is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing in winter and hiking and climbing in summer.

The Drei Zinnen ski region is one of the 12 ski resorts in the Dolomiti Superski ski area, and it covers 5 locations/ villages as well as 5 connected mountains for a total of 115Km of perfectly groomed runs (12km black, 50km red, 53km blue) ideal for plenty of fun out and about in the snow.

It has everything winter sports fans need: great slopes, modern lifts, healthy mountain air, and stunning views. The ski area caters to both ambitious athletes and laid-back pleasure seekers. Varied ski runs, state-of-the-art lift system and spectacular views provide excellent conditions for a perfect holiday – rounded off with special highlights such as professional training slopes, night skiing and toboggan runs.

Even the youngest skiers enjoy an optimal setting for their first turns in the snow, making this Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site an exceptionally rewarding family-friendly destination.

In addition to all of this, another major ski area - Kronplatz (Plan de Corones) - is easily accessible in 30min with the very efficient Ski Pustertal Express train. Just hop off the train and onto the gondola on the same platform!
