Enjoy the silence and nature combined with a stunning view of some of the famous peaks of the Dolomites ( Hohe Gaisl/Corda Rossa, Cristallo and Tofane).

On the 2000 Plätzwiese high plateau in the middle of the Fanes-Sennes-Prags nature park, where many cross country stars have used this circuit to prepare for Olympic gold, the excellent snow conditions offer wonderful hours on cross country skies. This unique circuit is also recommended for beginners and enthusiasts. Here, where the snowy days tend to start before the first days of December and sometimes last until the last days of March, you can experience peace and nature combined with stunning views of some of the famous peaks of the Dolomites (Hohe Gaisl peak, Monte Cristallo and the Tofane).
