Ice and frost cover the land and cloak nature in cotton-wool softness. The streams have stopped flowing and give off not a single sound. The dormant water is frozen into bizarre icy shapes. The mighty stone titans, the Dolomites, are covered in white fabric, glittering and shining like precious silver in the rays of the winter sun against the bright blue sky. They have stood still here for eons, and yet ...

What's wrong with letting off steam in nature? Nothing at all! If you want to express your joie de vivre exuberantly, the best thing to do is to go for a sleigh ride in the wild nature of the pristine Val Badia. How better to give voice to one’s joy in life than to whizz down the mountainside on a sled or toboggan? Resistance is futile!

When the snow glistens white beneath the light grey of the Dolomite giants, the body whispers insistently to the head: “let's go out!” Gliding or fast skating along the 23-kilometers of cross-country skiing tracks around Marebbe, while the sun kisses your face with its rays as you’re surrounded by the sleepy slopes of the alpine meadows and the humble rock giants, the fresh flakes melt on the warm skin of your nose and cheeks and you’ll forget all about what’s around you and be transported to another world.

Marebbe is located at the foot of Plan de Corones, one of the most famous skiing areas in South Tyrol. You can see it from Ciasa Somür. It’s hard to tell from here that it is such a popular mountain for skiing because this part is covered by trees and forests that watch silently over the valley. Nevertheless, it’s not far to all the action from the Somür.
