Centro del Fondo in Riale Nordic Skiing

The Formazza Valley is historically linked to cross-country skiing, and the Centro del Fondo in Riale, set in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Alps, is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy this sport, perhaps for the first time.

The cross-country skiing piste on the Riale plain in upper Formazza Valley extends for a total of 12 km and is meticulously designed to accommodate both beginners and professional skiers, including athletes who compete for many national teams, who can often be seen training in Riale.
Fans of this piste are very familiar with the difficulties and satisfaction of tackling the climbs at Diga di Morasco and the spectacular ascent at Chiesetta, the symbol of Riale, or the ascents at Stafel and Frua di Sopra, which are all located in a truly breath-taking setting.

There are 3 km of green runs for beginners, 5 km of red/black runs in which the black sections are avoidable and another 12 km of red/black runs that are only recommended for advanced skiers. The Riale cross-country piste follows a route with a maximum elevation difference of 270 metres and is accompanied by a modern support facility with parking and a hire centre. The resort is completed by high-end hotels and restaurants, changing rooms, bars, a well-stocked shop selling local products and hire shop where you can rent snow shoes, Alpine skis, bobsleighs/luges and fat bikes.
In the winter, the Riale plain is not only popular for cross-country skiing, but also for Alpine skiing activities (the most famous and easy excursion leads to the Maria Luisa refuge), snowshoeing (there are numerous routes and a busy calendar of scheduled trips with guides) and fat biking (guaranteed fun exploring the entirety of the beautiful Riale plain).
