All this is possible thanks to a long historic background entailing for the main town of the Valcanale, the chance to become and be a longstanding referring point of this area. Tarvisio in fact was a town attracting a large flow of tourists in the '30s already.

This border area is really different from the others: here culture, customs and habits and also traditions have been influenced by the bordering countries of Austria and Slovenia. Tarvisio has an indissoluble bond with skiing and during the course of time has been able to show increasing talent, also at professional level. Thanks to the high quality of its slopes it has hosted and still does today, numerous international sport events. This tourist resort is also much appreciated by ski fans who really love downhill skiing on perfect slopes suitable for any skier, no matter the level of experience or training.

The ski areas and the slopes for tourists stretch over an area measuring 859.000m²; they are always really perfect and clean thanks to the work of the Promotur staff. The 'Di Prampero' slope is really worth mentioning: it is 4 km long and downhill skiing is an experience which cannot take you more than the blink of an eye and when you want.

You leave from Monte Lussari (where there is a famous catholic Mother Mary's Sanctuary, attracting thousands and thousands of modern pilgrims) and you are suddenly downstream. In this case the difference in altitude is nearly 1,000mt. Something else you can experience on this run is 'Ski by Night', in other words skiing by the moonlight twice a week. But there is much more to it: snow lovers cannot miss Priesnig, Florianca and Alpe Limerza, these are three other slopes to discover and to enjoy. Tarvisio can boast 24 runs and therefore it is the largest ski resort of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

Let's not forget that since last year another interesting new facility is there at disposal of all skiers: the connection between the Lussari and the Florianca. The most important part of such connection is the automatically hooking four-place chairlift 'Prasnig', with a sort of tapis roulant to facilitate getting on. Such installation can carry 1,200 people per hour and is made up of 56 four-place chairlifts; thanks to it the connection between Malga Lussari and Mount Prasnig takes place in only 5 minutes and 30 seconds. So the investment made by Promotur has entailed the acquisition of further ski areas in the area of Tarvisio and enables snow and ski lovers to enjoy another important facility. But there are even more innovations, in fact snow lovers and especially kids, will find here the Snow &Fun Park, to which access is granted to adults as well. Such snow playground is located in the so-called 'Piana dell'Angelo', between Tarvisio and Camporosso, not too far away from the main road. The playground has been conceived for teenagers and children between 3 and 15 years of age: you will find there a whole series of amusing facilities to enjoy yourself on the snow, special areas for sleds and inner tube sledges, not to mention inflatables.
