In the heart of the Dolomites, World Heritage Site of UNESCO, between the Catinaccio and Latemar mountains, seven sunny villages constitute the Rosengarten-Latemar tourist resort. Ideal destination for families, sportsmen and nature lovers, this ski area maintains the atmosphere of the old days, combined with unrivaled hospitality, to give you a unique and unforgettable experience. This is because unique and unforgettable is the landscape mountain lovers will enjoy, the landscape of the Rosengarten and Latemar peaks. Imposing and proud by day, at sunset their shades of red stolen from the last rays of the sun will take your breath away.  

No less than two ski resorts await winter sports lovers from 28 November 2009 to 11 April 2010. The Carezza Ski and the Obereggen/Ski Center Latemar will guarantee a lot of fun on the snow and in the sun: 86 km ski slopes, 34 lift facilities, 100 km cross-country skiing tracks, 7 sledge slopes, 2 snowboard parks and countless snowshoe trails and winter hiking trails. A favourite destination for snowshoeing lovers is Tires, idyllic village at the foot of the Catinaccio with no ski slopes but rich in safe and well marked hiking routes crossing uncontaminated landscapes.
If this is still not enough for you, during the whole season many interesting events are organized, and in the evenings fun is guaranteed with après-ski, floodlit skiing tracks and floodlit sledge slopes.  

Finally, the “Rosengarten-Latemar Alpine Pearls” (Nova Ponente, Nova Levante, Tires and Collepietra), an association bringing together Alpine tourist resorts rich in natural attractions and able to give their visitors a “holiday without car”, offer a wide range of soft mobility transport modes.

On the Carezza Ski-King of the Dolomites resort snow and sun are guaranteed: in fact Carezza is one of the sunniest ski areas of South Tyrol. Skiers, ski carvers, snowboarders, telemark skiers can be sure of practicing their favourite sport on the 40 km tracks of Carezza warmed by the sun and surrounded by a unique landscape they can admire dashing down the tracks. The resort guarantees fresh snow cover from december to april on the 100% of the tracks thanks to 170 snow cannons ensuring perfect tracks for the whole family. The 55% of the tracks are blue (easy). Moreover, Carezza offers more difficult tracks for expert skiers: 30% red tracks (medium) and 15% black tracks (difficult). If you prefer other disciplines, you can choose among cross-country skiing tracks, snowshoe trails, sledge slopes and activities for children like the “Girotondo sulla neve”. The little snow dwarfs can take part to the King Laurin ski tour, a tour along the easiest tracks, and once a week the bravest kids can try the “Fairytales Tour”.  

All this fun is well within reach: from the Bolzano Nord motorway exit a 20 minutes drive will take you to the Carezza Ski-Nova Levante resort.
