“… the 1200 mts of the north eastern Alps are like the 1600 mts of the central and western ones ....”
Sella Nevea and its surrounding areas are well known to be a snowy place, conditions guaranteed by the encounter of north-eastern cold wind with the humid clouds arriving from the sea.
Don’t be surprised of hearing the locals telling you that on the 1st of May it is often possible to ski to the bottom of the valley at 1150mt above sea level. This happens so many time during the international event of “Sci Alpinistica del Monte Canin” a famous international competition of off-slope ski.
In a moment where global warming seems to jeopardize the Alps snow supply, Sella Nevea will be more and more relaying on its natural snowy gift.
Despite the tendency of getting abundant natural snow, Sella Nevea slopes are covered by artificial snow for 80% of their extensions. So, whatever the conditions are, snow is assured.
