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.

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.
