About Predazzo - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
Predazzo - the gateway to the Dolomites!
As the largest district of the area, with approx. 5,000 inhabitants, the popular resort Predazzo is located in the north-east of the Val di Fiemme at 1,018 m altitude. The resort characterises itself with its liveliness, which can be experienced at many cultural events and in the cosy regional pubs. The town's landmark are the churches Santi Filippi and Giacomo, built in 1866. After an exciting day on the piste all round Predazzo, the indoor pool or also the sports centre with indoor tennis courts invite you to try other sporty activities. Also the other resorts in the Val di Fiemme are worth a visit. There you will find such things as an ice stadium and outdoor ice rinks.
SkiThe "Val di Fiemme-Predazzo lift pass" is valid in a total of five different ski areas: Alpe Cermis, Alpe Luisa-Bellamonte, Lavazé-Oclini, Passo Rolle and Ski Center Latemar. Winter sports fans have a large selection for all skill levels on 111 kilometres of piste between 860 - 2,388 m, which are connected by 45 lifts.
Beginners should start on the sunny southern slopes of Alpe Luisa. Experts will love the steep Olimpia run on Alpe Cermis above Cavalese - there is an altitude difference of 1,390 m along the 7.5 km into the valley.
Snowboarders can take advantage of various snow parks, including the Ski Center Latemar, with rails, boxes, kickers, a halfpipe and much more. The snow-sure winter sports paradise also offers great areas for free riders! There is also a free ski bus service in Val di Fiemme that runs between the individual resorts and ski areas.
The combined lift "Laner" with 6-person chairlift and 8-person cabin lift at Ski Center Latemar was opened in 2016/17. It also gives you easy access to the new, approx. 750 m long toboggan run. A new mountain hut made of wood and glass with panoramic terrace and bar can be found at the Oberholz lift since December 2016 and invites you to take a break. In Alpe Cermis the children's area "Cermislandia" got a toboggan and a tubby rail as well as a practise area for the ski school. After a long day on skis you can warm up and make yourself comfortable at the modern lounge-bar "La Baita Tonda".
Après-ski in Val di Fiemme is rather laid-back. Here guests turn into one of the traditional lodges, in order to take in the last rays of sun, enjoy a fairy-tale surrounding or close a days' skiing with typical culinary specialities in one of the mountain huts. Several restaurants in Predazzo are also waiting to spoil you with regional or international specialities. Some other resorts in Val die Fiemme also offer bars and discos, promising a fun evening. During the day, nearly all resorts offer all activities such as tobogganing, snow-tubing or winter hikes. Ice skating fans can head to the rink in Cavales or Lago di Tesero. In Predazzo there is an indoor pool suitable for the whole family.
Furthermore the Alpine Coaster awaits toboggan fans, where you can reach speeds up to 40 km/h! Starting in winter 16/17 you can reach the approx. 750 m toboggan run that runs from the Almgasthaus Epircher-Laner down to the valley station of the Absam-Maierl charlift with the combined lift "Laner" in Latemar. A total of 9 toboggan runs can be found in the Eggen valley, e.g. the 2.5 km floodlit piste in the Obereggen ski area. Toboggan fans can also look forward to the Alpine Coaster in Predazzo, with which you can reach to up to 40 km/h on rails!
The "cradle of cross-country skiing", as Val di Fiemme is often called, is a true paradise for all cross-country enthusiasts. There's a reason why it has already been host of the Nordic ski world championships three times! The traditional Marcialonga race has also taken place here for many years; this run covers 70 km through Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa. The area offers a total of 150 km of track and offers beginners both classic and skating-style trails in a varied trail network. The high-altitude trails at Lavazè Pass (1,800 m) are both very challenging and snow-sure. The longest track can be found in Deutschnofen-Petersberg and, with its 25 km, requires good condition. At Lago di Tesero you will find the 1991, 2003 and 2013 world championship stadium, which is also called "the heart of cross-country in Val di Fiemme".
