Information
Lago di Resia Lake, in the upper Venosta (Vinschgau) Valley offers a wide range of winter sports options for the young - and the young at heart. In addition to classic skating, the lake is well known for in-vogue sports such as snow kiting and ice yachting. Lago di Resia freezes over completely every year and has great wind. The lake thus offers passionate kiters and ice yachting enthusiasts the ice conditions necessary to do these sports. When the celebrated Vinschger Wind blows strongly into the sails, the whole Lago di Resia is full of brightly coloured ice yachts. This is fun not only for those who love to do ice sports, but also for the many spectators and general public. There are kite surfing lessons on offer at Lago di Resia from May to September and snow kiting lessons from December to March.

Even the kiting elite appreciates Lago di Resia. Every year in January, kiters come from all over the world for the Snowkite European Championship. Participants from several European countries compete in the racing and freestyle disciplines, delighting the crowds with their daredevil jumps. In 2013, the Snowkite European Championship will once again be held at Lago di Resia. Expected date: 18 to 20 January.

Four cross-country skiing trails at elevations up to 2,000 metres and running 40 kilometres in length make the Schöneben ski area a popular destination for cross-country skiers. The Melanger Circuit, which is a 15-km-long loop, runs underneath the glacier of Palla Bianca (Weißkugel) Mountain; like the high-altitude trail (Höhenloipe), it is suitable for more experienced skiers. The Curon (Graun) Circuit, which runs 6 km and is basically flat, is particularly recommended for beginners and leisure skiers. The Dreiländerloipe (lit: Three-Country Trail) runs 15 km and allows you to glide into Austria and, shortly afterwards, into Switzerland: this very special experience is enticing more and more skiers to become regulars at the Schöneben ski area.
