On the border toward the eastern part of Tyrol with its capital Lienz, the slopes sparkle in all their glory already from afar, enticing visitors to the ski area of Mt. Elmo located between San Candido, Versciago and Sesto/Pusteria, and all connected by long and rather demanding downhill runs.
The panorama from Mt. Elmo extends over a Dolomite landscape that is somewhat different from the usual scenic backdrop of the eastern Dolomites. In fact, the view focuses mainly on the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, undoubtedly the world’s most famous Dolomite mountains.
Characteristic huts located on the edge of the slopes welcome exhausted skiers, refreshing them with traditional Pusteria food and drink.
From Sesto it’s also possible to go on excursions in sleds drawn by Haflinger horses leading to Val Fiscalina, one of the most characteristic areas of the Alpine arc.
The area of the Three Peaks of Lavardeo has various features that will strengthen the physique and, above all, satisfy the eye of the beholder who appreciates all the wonders of these beautiful mountains.
