The ski resort Belpiano (Schöneben)/Malga San Valentino (Heideralm) is located in the Italian Val Venosta (Trentino-Alto Adige region, South Tyrol). For skiing and snowboarding, there are 65 km of slopes with 10 ski lifts. This winter sports complex is located at an altitude of 1460 to 2390 meters above sea level.
Since the winter season 2018/2019, the two neighboring ski areas Belpiano and Malga San Valentino have merged under the new name Belpiano / Malga San Valentino. The two resorts are connected by slopes and lifts, so guests of one resort can use the ski area of the neighboring one.
The technical merger of the two resorts into one was carried out in the summer of 2018 with the construction of two 10-seater gondola lifts and numerous new tracks.
The Belpiano / Malga San Valentino ski area stretches from the northernmost point of Lake Resia, through Belpiano and the Roya Valley, to San Valentino alla Muta south of the lake and to the summit of Malga San Valentino. There are slopes of all difficulty levels for skiing without queues and tedious waiting. Thanks to its height and proximity to the three mountain ranges of South Tyrol, Tyrol and Engadin, as well as powerful snowmaking systems, the resort guarantees snow until late spring. 175 snow cannons spread the snow cover on all trails and mountain slopes.
Other attractions of the Belpiano / Malga San Valentino ski area include the famous snow park and ski slope in Belpiano, as well as a beautiful view of the valley that runs from Malga San Valentino to San Valentino alla Muta. On Lake Resia, you can go ice skating, kitsurfing, skiing on ice. Buses run to the towns of Rezia, Curon Venosta and Vallelunga.
