Mount Alben, snow-covered expanses and moonscapes

The bright, imposing north face of Mount Alben - with its lasting winter covering of compact snow - dominates the valley. It is this exposure that guarantees ideal conditions for the whole season. Skiing is available here through to late spring, in the vast, silent setting that makes this experience on the snow so unique.

The Conca dell’Alben valley contains small, medium-level slopes that are perfect for beginners, families and skiers looking to perfect their technique in an unhurried setting. The lift can be reached from Oltre il Colle and it offers skiing in open country, with the profile of Mount Alben always in the background. 

As well as alpine skiing, there is also room for Nordic skiing. These slopes are home to one of the most stunning cross-country ski trails in Lombardy: 16 km from Zambla Alta to Valpiana taking in fir woods, clearings and offering views that open out on the Upper Val Serina. One section of the route is also lit for night-time skiing, offering a different, fascinating way in which to experience the mountains.

Oltre il Colle completes the offer with snowshoeing routes for everyone, taking you through the woods, over gentle ridges and on to panoramic viewing points where you can enjoy the scenery in all its beauty. It is a nearby location, easily reached and ideal for your authentic winter mountain experience on a human scale.
