SKIAREA BUFFAURE-ALOCH |
|

01 - Buffaure di
sotto MEDIUM
START: 2115 END: 1980 LENGHT: 400m MEDIUM SLOPE: 34%
It's a classical medium piste, served by a chair lift built few years ago. Between the first and the last stretch with a demanding incline, lies a central rather flat section. This track is not the best slope a skier could desire, but the first slope is rather demanding and exciting.
02 - Col Valvacin MEDIUM
START: 2354 END: 2041 LENGHT: 1640m MEDIUM SLOPE: 19%
It's the last piste built in the skiarea Buffaure, and it's served by a modern chair lift. The track is not very large, but we can't consider it as difficult. Through a pair of turns the piste goes down the western slope of Col Valvacin, till the station of the facility; you can also join the piste Buffaure. The incline is almost never demanding; but the landscape from the top of the mountain is wonderful.
03 - Baby Buffaure
VERY EASY
START: 2061 END: 2040 LENGHT: 180m MEDIUM SLOPE: 12%
It's a classical baby piste, reserved to begineer skiers. Served by a skilift, it's very short and shows a difference in height of only 20 meters.
04 - Buffaure MEDIUM
START: 2048 END: 1340 LENGHT: 5100m MEDIUM SLOPE: 24%
It's a very long piste that, starting om the top of Buffaure next to the Refuge Buffaure (2020m), arrives untill Meida, hamlet of Pozza di Fassa (1320), going through the woods of S.Nicoḷ Valley. The first part of the slope is a classical red piste, with inclines between 20% and 25%, although some stretches are steeper; but don't worry, surely it is not difficult! When you arrive at the foot of Buffaure, the track changes decidedly: first it becomes narrow and then the incline decreases: in some stretches it is necessary to use the ski sticks. After a pair of kilometers you reach Meida, next to the start of the Buffaure cableway, that brings again on the top.
05 - Pala del Geiger
MEDIUM
This slope was recently built in the Jumela Valley, between Buffaure and Ciampac. It's served by a modern chair-lift and crosses the southern side of Col de Valvacin untill the bottom of the valley. The incline is rather steep but always regular, except a few almost flat stretches; this slope is not so long but you have to pay attention to probable iced streches (because of the altitude and the northern exposure)
06 - Orsa Maggiore
EASY
This track, served by a long modern chair-lift, crosses the gentle slopes of the higher Jumela Valley, starting fomr the Sella Brunech, on the boundary with Ciampac Valley. The slope is very nice, without difficulties, and has no steep streches. Beginner skiers can enjoy this track without any problem, it's always large and the snow conditions are usually good.

07 - Ski Stadium
Aloch MEDIUM/DIFFICULT
START: 1630 END: 1323 LENGHT: 1000m MEDIUM SLOPE: 31%
This piste is situated in the
center of Pozza di Fassa, separated from the skiarea Buffaure but it can be
travelled over with the same skipass. The track descends the northern slope of
the Mo
nzoni
and it offers two alternatives: the "direct descent" and the gentler
one. These tracks separate some meters after the chair lift station; the gentler
track sets out for west and goes along a large turn; the "direct descent"
dives to Pozza, with rather demanding inclines. Then the piste levels untill the
end. A negative caracteristic of this track is the fact that it is situated on
the northern slope of the mountain, and so you often can find iced or ery hard
stretches. But there's also something positive: the lighting that permits to ski
untill late at night.
