Alpine and cross-country skiing
The Doganaccia ski area extends over approximately 15 km of downhill slopes.
The school camp lies on a difference in altitude of approximately 120 meters and is served by a 100 meter treadmill, ideal for apprentices, and by the 800 meter chairlift (Campo Scuola).
The Campo Scuola, Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro (new Pista) and Raccordino slopes start from here.
The Faggio di Maria ski lift serves, in addition to the slope of the same name, the Direttissima, the lower part of the Chierroni and the Panoramica, almost 4 km long .
The second section of the cableway, Doganaccia-Croce Arcana (currently under maintenance), allows the use of numerous off-piste areas within the skiable area, of the first section of the Direttissima and Faggio di Maria slopes, and of the Angela and Panoramica slopes.
The ski mountaineering route, which connects Croce Arcana to Monte Cornaccio (Corno alle Scale – Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi – Lago Scaffaiolo), can be reached by the Doganaccia-Croce Arcana cable car (currently under maintenance), or by following the marked routes. A suggestive stretch is the Strada Romea towards Capanno Tassoni.
All trails can be traveled on both mountaineering skis and snowshoes. It is always advisable to check the weather conditions before tackling these routes.
Two cross-country rings extend for 2.3 km around Lake San Gualberto and at altitude for 3.2 km at Passo della Croce Arcana. Currently both are used for wonderful snowshoeing in contact with nature.
Snowshoeing
La Doganaccia is an excellent starting point for snowshoe excursions along the ridges on the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna.
During the winter season, with suitable snow conditions, it is possible snowshoeing, along different routes, with different degrees of difficulty.
Snow-kite and paragliding
The large open spaces that open above the vegetation are a popular destination for snow-kite enthusiasts and an ideal starting point for paragliding.
Snowcat
Discover the mountains with the snowcat, an imposing half-track capable of moving nimbly in snowy mountain environments.
Un’esperienza in gruppo verso il passo della Croce Arcana, con panorami a 1669 metri di altitudine, con possibilità di sostare per l’aperitivo o per la cena al Rifugio Spigolino, nel versante emiliano dell’Appennino.
