Resort Overview
Sangiacomo Cardini offers 30 kilometres of predominantly intermediate skiing across the Pennine Alps in Piedmont's Ossola Valley, with elevations from 1,200 to 1,950 metres. The resort's north-facing orientation ensures excellent snow preservation throughout winter, complemented by modern snowmaking systems covering 85% of all marked runs. Wide, open slopes characterise the upper mountain, transitioning to scenic tree-lined descents through ancient pine forests on lower sections, creating distinct skiing experiences at different elevations. The compact but diverse terrain particularly benefits families and improving intermediates, while maintaining dedicated beginner zones and selected advanced challenges including the technically demanding Moro black piste.
