Cristelin Piste

 


Panorama delle piste verso Pecol di Zoldo:da sinistra, i curvoni della Cristelin, la Foppe e il tratto finale della Lendina.

The start and finish are shared by the Foppe: When you get off the gondola lift turn left, but instead of then turning left again go on towards a vast plateau down a very wide  trail with a gentle slope. On your right  is the T-bar lift from Pian del Crep, while the Cristelin continues to the left across a forest. The slope is easy to handle until the final wall. This, however, is steep, though short, about 200 m, and always well-smoothed by the Snow-Cats. At the foot of the wall starts a levelled pathway to the gondola lift station.

 

Foppe Piste

 

Lendina Piste


(Black, 1.424 m long, 370 m drop. Lit up.)

The Foppe is the most important amoung the trails converging on Pecol. This not  only because the Women's World Cup "Giant" and "Special" races are held here, but due to its technical characteristics. After riding the great gondola lift to Pian del Crep go left about 200 metres down a gentle slope, then turn left again towards a short low wall which will bring you to the Foppe Piste proper. The initial 500-600 m you glide an easy incline. But the final stretch is much steeper, with two wide and long curves that are steep also laterally and run above the gondola lift. After passing it, you arrive at the lift station. The Foppe is not too difficult, always ready with a fine, smooth carpet of snow and no  impassable walls. It is wide enough to also welcome intermediate skiers.

This is the easiest trail going back to Pecol. after you've gotten of the Pian del Crep gondola lift,cross the Campo Scuola (learner's area) and turn right. Go down along the left-nand side of the T-bar lift on a most gentle slope using the long and wide trail. The Lendina does not pose any difficulty and is ideal for beginners. You must, however, stick to your right: on the left start other trails which do not go to Pecol. Past the first section of easy incline, about a kilometre long, you enter a long wooded slope (1 kilometre) where you can let your skis carry you whith  absolute serenity. Then the slope becomes steeper as the trail curves and you are at the most difficult part of the piste (about 200 metres). You should watch  out and stick to your right for a pathway leading to the final stretch (on your left is the chairlift to Palafavera-Alleghe). If you do not wish to push yourself ahead using the ski-poles, let yourself glide freely the moment you turn into the pathway.
