Why the Val d'Ega?
Why ski in the Val d'Ega?
The Val d'Ega lies just 20 kilometres from Bolzano and offers, with Latemar-Obereggen and Carezza, around 90 piste kilometres in the heart of the UNESCO Dolomites.
The Val d'Ega begins just east of Bolzano and climbs up between the massifs of the Rosengarten (Catinaccio) and the Latemar. Two ski areas share the valley: the Ski Center Latemar around Obereggen, and Ski Area Carezza at Lago di Carezza (Karersee). Together they add up to around 90 piste kilometres and 31 lifts.
The practical advantage is the proximity. From Bolzano Airport it's only 30 minutes — the shortest transfer of any South Tyrolean ski destination. Anyone flying in the morning is on the piste by midday. Both areas belong to Dolomiti Superski and are connected by a free ski bus. A local Val d'Ega ski pass covers both.
The two areas have different characters. Latemar-Obereggen sits between 1,550 and 2,500 metres, is considered particularly snow-reliable, and with the Latemar Six-Pack — six black runs — plus one of Italy's best snow parks, is the sportier of the two. Carezza sits between 1,200 and 2,337 metres directly at the foot of the Rosengarten, has the more famous backdrop, and is more family-friendly — with the König Laurin gondola and a striking mountain station designed by Werner Tscholl.

Which flights are there from Antwerp to South Tyrol?
SkyAlps flies direct from Antwerp to Bolzano several times a week, flight time 1h 40min. All prices are per person and include the return flight as well as the nights in the hotel you book.
When is the best time for a ski holiday in the Val d'Ega?
The season starts in late November and runs to early April; Latemar-Obereggen is one of the most snow-reliable Dolomite areas and often opens earlier than others. In December, the Snowboard World Cup takes place at Carezza. January and February bring the most reliable conditions and the school half-term holidays. March combines sun, longer days and still-good snow up high. In April the operation winds down.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
From Bolzano Airport it's only about 30 minutes into the Val d'Ega, because the valley starts directly behind the provincial capital.
The transfer takes you to the hotel; ski equipment can come along. Alternatively, several bus lines run from Bolzano to Nova Levante (Welschnofen), Nova Ponente (Deutschnofen) and Obereggen. Within the valley a free ski bus connects both ski areas, so you can change side during the day.
