    The Overview

    Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.

    Civetta commands Veneto's largest ski destination with 72km of interconnected slopes spreading across three valleys beneath the legendary 3,218m Mount Civetta and neighbouring 3,168m Mount Pelmo. This expansive Dolomites resort unites the historic mountain communities of Alleghe, Selva di Cadore, and Val di Zoldo through 26 modern lifts accessing terrain between 1,000m and 2,100m. The resort's signature Gran Zuita descent drops 1,100m across 7km from Col Fioret to Lake Alleghe, offering spectacular views of the northwest face of Mount Civetta—known as the "Wall of Walls" for its imposing 1,200m vertical rock face.

    As part of the Dolomiti Superski network, Civetta provides access to 1,200km of skiing across 12 interconnected resorts while maintaining its distinctive character as a family-oriented destination. The comprehensive snowmaking system covering 98% of terrain ensures exceptional reliability despite the moderate elevation, supplementing the area's substantial 600cm average annual snowfall. The predominantly intermediate terrain with 50% red runs and 39% blue runs creates ideal conditions for developing skiers, while challenging black runs and a dedicated snowpark at Val di Zoldo serve advanced riders. The resort's position just two hours from Venice establishes Civetta as the gateway to winter Dolomites skiing within the UNESCO World Heritage landscape.

    When to visit Civetta

    Civetta typically operates from early December through early April, with optimal conditions concentrated in January through March when the resort benefits from its position in the heart of the Veneto Dolomites. The exceptional snowmaking system covering 98% of terrain provides remarkable reliability throughout the season, backed by nearly 200 snow cannons that supplement the area's impressive 600cm average annual snowfall. Despite the moderate elevation range of 1,000m to 2,100m, Civetta ranks among the snowiest Dolomites destinations, with consistent natural accumulation creating excellent powder opportunities after storms.

    The resort's predominantly intermediate terrain with wide, perfectly groomed pistes appeals particularly during stable winter periods, while the comprehensive artificial snow coverage ensures valley runs to all three base areas remain skiable even during marginal conditions. Clear weather reveals extraordinary panoramic views extending across the Dolomites to the Sella Group, Marmolada, Tofane, and Croda da Lago peaks. The resort's protected valleys create distinctive microclimates, with Col dei Baldi's sunny south-facing slopes maintaining excellent conditions even during cold snaps, while forested lower runs preserve snow quality throughout spring. Night skiing operations at Val di Zoldo extend the season's appeal, with illuminated slopes operating through the evening hours on select runs.

    Getting there

    Getting to Civetta, and where to stay

    Located in Belluno province in the heart of the Veneto Dolomites, Civetta sits approximately 120km from Venice and 132km from Treviso, making it the most accessible major Dolomites destination from the Venetian plain. The historic lakeside village of Alleghe anchors the resort alongside the mountain communities of Selva di Cadore and Val di Zoldo, providing comprehensive accommodation options and authentic Dolomites hospitality. Venice Marco Polo Airport provides the primary international gateway just two hours away, while Treviso Airport offers budget carrier access with similar transfer times, establishing Civetta as the gateway resort to winter Dolomites skiing.

    The resort's position within the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites landscape surrounds visitors with spectacular geological formations, including the imposing northwest face of Mount Civetta—the legendary "Wall of Walls" that attracts climbers worldwide. The three valley bases offer distinctive character: Alleghe sits dramatically beside its namesake lake beneath towering Dolomite walls, Selva di Cadore occupies the sunny Val Fiorentina between Mount Pelmo and Mount Civetta, while Val di Zoldo maintains traditional mountain village atmosphere with strong gelato-making heritage. Strategic ski bus connections link Civetta to nearby Marmolada glacier and Cortina d'Ampezzo within the Dolomiti Superski network, while the First World War Ski Tour passes through the resort, combining historical significance with spectacular skiing across multiple valleys.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    Unstable Glacier Above Randa Puts Zermatt-Area Village on Alert

    A hanging glacier above the Swiss village of Randa, just south of Zermatt, has been shedding large chunks of ice for weeks, with authorities warning more break-offs are likely. A danger zone has been closed off since June, though officials say the village's 479 residents aren't at risk. It's a familiar pattern for this glacier - it's done this before, in 1819, 1972 and 1973 - but a reminder of how closely Alpine authorities now watch terrain once considered stable.

    Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business

    Thredbo is officially 'on the table.' EVT Limited, owner of Australia's most decorated ski resort, has hired Rothschild & Co to review its entire corporate structure - and confirmed Thredbo isn't off limits, even as it books a stronger year of earnings. The resort's own valuation has nearly halved after a brutal 2026 season, and speculation is already running toward Vail Resorts, Alterra, or a New Zealand operator picking it up. Here's what EVT actually said, and who could buy it.
