La VolatA Piste: the sense of balance

The San Pellegrino Ski Area slope is very fast and technical, starting at the 2,480 m of Col Margherita and leading up to the 1,880 m of the Dolomite pass, for a total length of 2,400 m and a 600 m difference in altitude. A piste that is not completely new: indeed the first part runs parallel to the slope leading to Lake Cavia and then bends towards the pass and reconnects to the Col Margherita. Shortly before the change of direction, the section of the black La Volata begins, with maximum gradients of 50% (and average values around 30%), with a final rush through a fairytale-like forest. Since the descent must be tackled all in one breath to admire the spectacular panorama on the Pale di San Martino and towards the peaks framing the pass, it is advisable to stop for a few minutes on the terrace at the exit of the upstream cable car.
