People love to ski
The prelude at Kronplatz, Cortina-Col Gallina, 3 Cime Dolomites-Passo Monte Croce, Val di Fiemme-Pampeago and Obereggen last weekend recorded a considerable number of local, domestic and international ski enthusiasts for the start of the 2022/23 winter season, the first "normal" one after the pandemic. In total, the first weekend recorded +32% of first entries compared with the first skiing weekend last year. "The offer of lifts and open slopes and the very favourable weather have encouraged many fans to start the ski season in the Dolomites. We hope to be able to expand the number of slopes ready to be enjoyed by skiers even further by 3 December and then for the first December holidays" comments Andy Varallo, Chairman of Dolomiti Superski, on the eve of the "official" start of the 22-23 ski season in the world’s largest ski destination.
The open lifts and slopes can be consulted on the constantly updated website https://www.dolomitisuperski.com/en/Open-lifts and on the Dolomiti Superski App.

Compulsory liability insurance and helmet for minors
We’d like to remind you that since 1 January 2022 there is an obligation to insure liability against third parties for those who practise certain winter sports in Italy, including alpine skiing. The user must be able to prove liability insurance coverage for damages against third parties while skiing. The insurance can be purchased online through the website of the insurance company; at all ski pass points of sale in Dolomiti Superski, a QR code redirecting to this site is available. Obviously, all insurance policies of this kind apply. Police forces are in charge of carrying out checks, so it is advisable to bring a photocopy of the policy or a statement of coverage from your insurance company. The obligation to wear a helmet has been extended to all minors, and it is also recommended for adults, for their own safety. It is furthermore prohibited to ski under the effects of alcohol.
