Alpin Arena Senales

In the Val Senales, northwest of Merano, you can ski from autumn to late spring. This makes the Alpin Arena Senales a popular training ground for national ski teams preparing for the alpine skiing season. The Senales Glacier Cable Car departs directly from the village of Maso Corto and ascends steep rock faces to the Grawand - Croda delle Cornacchie top station at 3,212 metres.

Located here is the Hotel Grawand, the highest located hotel in Europe. A few seasons ago, the new cable car with 80-passenger cabins and cabrio modality was inaugurated.

Here, on the border between South Tyrol and Austria, nearly 30 kilometres of pistes await. The varied descents include the challenging Transhumanz valley run, the easy Hasen piste, and the perfectly groomed and snow-covered Lazaun run. The black-rated Leo Gurschler piste serves as a training run for slalom and giant slalom. At the practice lifts, you'll also find the children's area.

A popular attraction at the mountain station of the Senales Glacier Cable Car is the Iceman Oetzi Peak, a spectacular platform with views of the Oetztal Alps. The Lazaun and Giogo Alto cross-country ski trails round off the winter offerings. The ski resort is part of the Südtirol Skiarena.
