 The orographic conformation of the Altopiano of Asiago enabled the development of more
than 300 km of cross-country ski runs.
Many international athletes train here for the competitions, on that same
snow that, in 1996, housed the Jr. Northern Skiing World Championship for
the second time.
While on one side of the mountain the territory spontaneously offers its
landscape for cross-country skiing, on the other side of it downhill
skiing is possible.
Here, the local operators of Asiago were able to create other opportunities such as
wonderful ski runs with different levels of difficulty.
All of this is obviously matched by marvelous extensive panoramas where the
ski-lifts fit in perfectly.
The covering of artificial snow guarantees a white mantle in case of poor
snowfalls.
Ski instructors are at your disposal and the bars and restaurants of the
refuges are always ready to give refreshment and are situated next to the
ski runs.
Horse riding on the snow, sledge-dog sleighing competitions and ice skating
are just some of the winter activities that, along with skiing, accompany
our guests throughout a really exciting holiday !

ICE SKATING
 Ice skating is another traditional sport of the winter season and on the
Altopiano of Asiago, it finds many different opportunities to be practiced : in Asiago
there is a covered ice-rink which will shortly be completely indoor.
This structure is open for 10 months a year and, as long as you are willing
to stand on sharp blades, it enables you to have fun even when the winter
season is finished.
In the winter season where many natural rinks are formed it is possible to
skate just for the fun of it.
What can be better than just to skate in the open air and enjoy the sunshine
that only the Altopiano of Asiago can offer ? In Busa Fonda, in the commune of Gallio,
there is a rink with an olympic ring for long-blade speeding competitions.
 ICE HOCKEY
Ice hockey is probably the national sport of the inhabitants of the Sette
Comuni.
A harsh but loyal sport, extremely fast and with incredible front
overturnings.
Hockey can kindle the flame of passion and arise that excitement that only
few other team sports do.
The team of Asiago is definitely a very important name in national hockey.
For years the team has been at the top of the list in this discipline and
was on the verge of winning the championship more than once by getting a
second place twice after two magic seasons (in 1985-86 and in 1990-91) which
concluded with the final for the title.
Very important goals have been reached not only by the primary team but also
in the sector of young players, now one of the best teams of all of the
national hockey scene.
And if all of this does not satisfy you, the Altopiano of Asiago offers other exciting
alternatives on the snow : horse riding along the 'malgas', or the thrill of
following a sledge pulled by dogs in order to enjoy the typical atmospheres
of the deep North. |

 For the unbearable stuffiness of the cities the "Altopiano" offers fresh
mountain breezes with a myriad of activities and pleasures.
Summer trekking, mountain-biking or horse-riding excursions are activities
which will bring you closer to Nature and to Freedom.
You could even find yourselves immersed in a dreamlike landscape playing
golf at the Asiago Golf Club that offers you a wonderful 18-hole green.
But you may prefer gliding, para-gliding, archery, indoor and outdoor
free-climbing, ice-skating, grass-skiing, martial arts, swimming, tennis and
any other traditional sports in a gym or the outdoors.
Leave your worries and stress behind by enjoying all that the "Altopiano
of Asiago"
offers, and dance away the nights at our nights-clubs or discos, and also
enjoy our shows, concerts, or debates.
