The slopes, which are almost always sunny and winding on both sides, offer breathtaking views, especially at sunset when the sun slowly sets behind the Monviso Massif.
Slopes from 1300 to 1650 meters above sea level are easily accessible from the parking lot. Bielmonte is also one of the few Italian resorts to have a speed skiing track, the so-called “flying kilometer”.
A dedicated and well-equipped playground in the snow delights young visitors, aided by the professional assistance of animators and ski instructors. At the end of the winter season, the slopes for summer bobsleigh and cheesecakes are restored at the top of Monte Marca, providing fun for the little ones in the summer.
Bielmonte is the highest town in the Oasi-Zegna region, which stretches 26 km between Trivero and Rosazza; balconies of the resort’s hotels offer views of the Po valley, so you can sunbathe and enjoy the magnificent green landscapes. Many of the trails of Oasi-Zegna run and start from Bielmonte, many of which are well known. There are many themed guided tours and guided photography safaris.
An easily accessible climbing wall is located about 1300 meters high on the slopes of Rocca di Argimonia.
