Situated on the border with Italy at the end of a long valley system means that we enjoy exceptional snowfall and the altitude (90% of the ski runs are above 2000 meters) ensures the snow stays till the end of the season. If we do hit a bad year, the 900+ snowmakers around the ski resorts do their job, which also guarantees the lower ski runs to have sufficient snow cover during early and late season.
