San Pellegrino

San Pellegrino offers a variety of options for a stay: cross-country skiing and a black ski run, trails through alpine landscapes, and historical and cultural topics at the pass. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by asking yourself which of these aspects you would like to shape your trip. Are you most interested in winter sports, scenic routes or the pass’s historical significance?

Cross-Country Skiing and Downhill Skiing at Passo San Pellegrino

The Centro Fondo Alochet at Passo San Pellegrino offers 18 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, spread across four loops of varying difficulty. The trails range in altitude from 1,900 to 2,500 metres. To get a sense of what is on offer, consider both the total distance and the number of loops, as well as their different levels of difficulty. Centro Fondo Alochet is accessible by ski bus from Moena and from the centre of Passo San Pellegrino. If you plan to use this connection for your day, it is advisable to check the ski bus timetable.

Another winter sports option is La VolatA, a black ski run in the San Pellegrino ski area. It starts at Col Margherita, at an altitude of 2,510 metres, and ends at Passo San Pellegrino, at 1,874 metres. It is approximately 2,350 metres long, with a vertical drop of 636 metres. The two winter sports options are clearly distinct: cross-country skiing centres on four loops of varying difficulty, while La VolatA is defined by its black-run rating and stated vertical drop.

Trails and Scenery near Fuciade

Trails through the alpine landscape are another possible focus of a stay. From the trail at the Costabella chairlift’s top station, the route crosses alpine pastures to the historic Rifugio Passo delle Selle, also known as Bergvagabunden Hütte. The named starting point, the pastures and the hut give this route its distinctive character.

A gravel road runs through sparse stands of dwarf pines and larches, as well as across meadows and pastures, to the Fuciade basin. Huts and old hay barns characterise the landscape there. This route therefore takes in a variety of landscape features: woodland, open spaces, and the huts and hay barns in the basin.

In winter, you can travel by horse-drawn carriage along the gravel-road section on the route from Passo San Pellegrino to the Fuciade basin. This seasonal option is available in winter and covers one section of the route. If a carriage ride is part of your travel plans, you can consider it separately from cross-country and downhill skiing.

History and Culture at the Pass

Since the Middle Ages, Passo San Pellegrino has served as a route connecting the north with the port of Venice. Merchants, pilgrims and soldiers used the pass. Its former role as a route adds a historical dimension to the sporting and scenic options. The former hospice at Passo San Pellegrino continues to host cultural exhibitions. When planning, you can therefore consider the pass’s history and this cultural attraction alongside outdoor activities.

These topics offer different starting points for planning your trip; you do not have to fit them all into the same stay.
