La Grava Piste

(Blue, 1.400 m long, 250 m drop)

The Grava is the most sheltered trail on the Civetta's southeasterly side. To reach it from Pian del Crep you must cross the Campo Scuola and instead of turning to the Lendina Piste enter the small tunnel  under the Casot di Pecol T-bar lift. Coming out, go over a low small wall and an "S"-shaped curve down an open slope. The main piste  stretches to the right  all the way  to he Casot skilift. To get to the Grava Piste you must, instead , stick to your left and go down a sort of pathway to the Grava T-bar lift. Atop the mountain make sure you  don't enter by mistake  either the Valgranda  or Laghetto trails. To enter the Grava you should  dismount about a hundred metres before reaching  the peak then turn right. the toughest part of the trail comes at its start . later, it levels off to an even, gentle slope. A wide  as any trail at zoldo, it poses no diffiulty. rarely exposed to the sun, its layer of snow is nearly always in perfect condition. at the finish you may, instead of taking the Grava T-bar lift again, proceed across the slope down a connecting course to the casot T-bar lift tfor Pian del crep. When in view of the Casot skilift you may turn right into another course which passes under the T-bar lift across the Casot Piste and, after a few hundred metres, reached the Lendina Piste, and from there to Pecol or Palafavera.

Le Coste Piste

(Red, 1.292 m long, 528 m drop)

Where it not for a short wall and at times treacherous snow conditions,the "red" rating would seem far too high for this trail. Le Coste connects between the palafavera ski area and those of Alleghe and Zoldo. To enter it you must go throught almost the entire Lendina Piste and then, when you see Pecol , turn left for the two-seat chairlift to Palafavera. Once there, alleghe lies straight in front while the start of  Le Coste is on your right. Beginning  with a gentle slope of a few hundred metres, the trail grows increasingly steeper until the wall near  its finish. the track is exposed almost throughout to the sun, which makes maintenance  difficult at times , especially during snowless periods. At suh times you might encounter some though bumps to handle in the steeper part of the trail. Past this treacherous section, below the chairlift, you will have a chance to relax on your skis gliding along a flat stretch all the way to the gondola lift boarding station (while on your right is the chairlift boarding station).

Crep Piste

 

(Red, 841 m long, 160 m drop)

The Crep takes you from Pian del Crep to the piste of Valgranda (near Pianaz) and Laghetto. At the top gondola lift station, pass the rifugio and thenb keep to your left. essentially a connecting course, the Crep is very large with many curves and varyng slopes, some quite damanding. Largely exposed to th sun, it might be tracherous at times.

Campetto

 

Nursery slope

(Nursery slope, 117m long. Lit up.)

Wide and with a most gentle incline and plenty of sunlight, it is ideal for those who try on skis for the first time.

 

 

(204m long, 28 m drop)

This learner's area is at Pianaz. Immediately after passing the village you will see (on your right) directions for the lift facilities. Continue down a short unpaved road and you'll arrive at a large square, from where  two t-bar lifts depart.The shorter one practically spans an open meadow that is an ideal space for taking one's first steps on skis.
