Ski-in/ski-out

Tarvisio is a small Italian town at the three-borders corner with Austria and Slovenia; hotels are in town, a short walk from the lift base.

Get to know the resort

Tarvisio sits at the three-borders corner of Italy, Austria and Slovenia, a small Friulian town under the pilgrimage chapel of Monte Lussari, with around 25 km of north-facing piste dropping nearly 1100 m back to the valley. The aspect and proximity to Atlantic weather systems make this one of the snowier corners of Italy, and the cross-border atmosphere brings Slovenian, Friulian and Austrian influences to the local food and language. Easy to reach from Klagenfurt or Trieste, it is one of the last truly cosmopolitan corners of the Alps.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 0 green, 8 blue, 12 red and 5 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • The base sits at 750 m and the top reaches 1860 m, a profile that holds snow well across a normal winter (score 80/100).
  • It is a compact resort, 25 km of piste on 11 lifts, best as a day trip or a relaxed short break rather than a week-long base.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
