Resort Overview
San Martino di Castrozza offers 60 kilometres of diverse skiing across the eastern Dolomites' Pale di San Martino range, with elevations from 1,450 to 2,357 metres. The resort combines two distinct sectors: Ces-Alpe Tognola with its flowing intermediate terrain and Passo Rolle featuring more challenging expert runs beneath the iconic Cimon della Pala peak. Modern snowmaking systems cover 95% of all marked runs, ensuring reliable conditions throughout winter. Beyond groomed pistes, the area provides exceptional off-piste opportunities, particularly in the Passo Rolle sector where the Val Venegia descent offers 8 kilometres of backcountry terrain accessible with minimal hiking.

The San Martino lift system comprises 22 modern installations strategically positioned across two distinctive mountain sectors. The network features high-capacity gondolas including the Alpe Tognola and Colverde connections, efficiently delivering skiers from village level to key mountain hubs, complemented by detachable chairlifts on primary routes. Recent infrastructure investments have introduced RFID ticketing technology, weather protection bubbles on newer lifts, and expanded uphill capacity by 30%, effectively minimising wait times even during peak periods. The system's dual-mountain design provides excellent options regardless of weather conditions, with Tognola excelling during storms and Passo Rolle offering more challenging terrain in good visibility.

Location & Getting There
Positioned 110 kilometres northeast of Trento in the heart of the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Natural Park, San Martino occupies a spectacular valley position surrounded by the distinctive Pale di San Martino Dolomite group. The elegant resort village features refined Belle Époque architecture reflecting its 19th-century development as a summer destination for Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. Unlike many purpose-built ski resorts, San Martino evolved organically while maintaining architectural harmony and sophisticated atmosphere. The surrounding region features remarkable biodiversity within protected national park areas, with winter hiking trails and cross-country ski routes complementing the downhill experience. The area's strategic position places it within the broader Dolomiti Superski network.
