On Mt Faloria slopes, the brand new “Scoiattolo”  is the thirteenth black diamond ski run of the resort. Starting at 2054 m above sea level, next to the Bigontina chairlift top station, the course descends for nearly 1 km with a maximum gradient of 55% and 238 m of elevation loss, plus an exciting final “steep pitch” for expert skiers. The ski run is equipped with state-of-the-art snowmaking plants and timekeeping systems so as to be homologated as slalom course.

The new Cortina-Col Druscié Gondola is going to replace the first stretch of the Freccia del Cielo cable car and will be operating from the 2019/2010 winter season opening.

The  lift has 10-person cabins with a capacity of lifting 1,800 people per hour, three times as high  as the existing cable car.
