Belpiano (Schöneben) – Malga S. Valentino (Haideralm) Ski Area

Lago di Muta Lake is located very near Resia (Reschen) Pass, directly at the village of San Valentino alla Muta. The lake freezes in late November so it attracts many snowkiters and ice yachters. Wind coming from Val Venosta creates favourable conditions for kiting. When the wind is from the south and the weather is nice, there are also thermals here at the lake, making it an ideal spot not only for newbies but also for experienced snowkiters. The nearby kite school at Lago di Resia (Reschnesee) Lake offers kitesurfing lessons from May to September and snowkiting lessons from December to March.

Schönis Kinderland is located directly next to the summit station of Schöneben Cable Car. The popular children's area at Schöneben Ski Area is very easily accessible with a magic carpet lift. Experienced instructors, who offer the little ones an exciting skiing programme, are present throughout the day to supervise. The mascot Schöni, a cuddlesome marmot, is also there to accompany and guide the children as they become more familiar with skiing.

Schönis Kinderland offers loads of fun, new playground equipment and pedagogically sound learning programmes. Here, budding skiers can learn the fun way under the expert guidance of the instructors and counsellors of Reschen Ski School.
