Ski-in/ski-out

San Martino is a small old village under the Pale di San Martino; hotels are in town, a short walk from gondolas at each end of the village.

Get to know the resort

San Martino di Castrozza sits at the foot of the Pale di San Martino, a wall of pale Dolomite rock that gives this small Trentino village one of the most jaw-dropping settings in the Alps. Two cable cars from each end of the village access 60 km of well-laid-out piste, plus the giant Dolomiti Superski pass on neighbouring valleys. Quiet and traditional, it is a fine alternative to the bigger names for skiers who want the Dolomite views without the crowds.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 22 blue, 28 red and 10 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 1467 m and the top reaches 2350 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 80/100).
  • With 60 km of piste on 22 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know in a long weekend.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 18 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
