There are 11 km of trails for skiing and snowboarding. 7 lifts transport skiers. The winter sports complex is located between 1387 and 1880 meters above sea level.
Mount Monte Pora is the highest point in the mountain range, 1880 m, which extends south to the Castion della Presolana plateau. The ski resort is located on the western slope of Monte Pora. Due to this location, its slopes are open to the sun almost all day, so you can ride for many hours on the wide, difficult slopes. Modern lifts are lifted to the slopes. And you can ride not only in the sun, but also in the moonlight – on the slope of Malga Pora – Pian del Termen there is a well-lit track.
The resort is famous for the European Champions Cup. The “black” track is FISI approved, and in 2005 it hosted competitive races as part of the National Ski Championships.
In Monte Pora you can also find the Pora Park Snowpark, open to riders and skiers of all skill levels looking to freestyle.
A 7 km cross-country ski trail is located in Magnolini. For 20 years there has been talk of the connection with the chair lifts of the resorts of Monte Pora and Monte Scanapa; thus it would become a 50 km slope area.
