Ski Area 5 Torri - Lagazuoi - Passo Giau

Part of the wider Cortina ski network, this area (accessible via free ski bus) is famed for its stunning scenery and historical significance, with traces of WWI trenches. It offers 29 km of mostly blue and red slopes (40% blue, 60% red), making it ideal for cruising and families. The iconic 'Giro della Grande Guerra' (Great War Tour) is accessible from here, a full-day ski circuit. The 'Super 8 Ski Tour' also offers incredible views of Cinque Torri. The highlight is the Lagazuoi cable car, leading to a spectacular 8.5 km run down the 'Armentarola' slope, often called the 'longest and most beautiful natural piste in the Dolomites,' served by horse-drawn sleighs back to the next lift. Lifts operate typically from early December to early April. The average length of pistes is about 2 km.
