The ski areas.
The safari crosses 2 ski areas (Val Gardena / Alpe di Siusi, Alta Badia): you need the Dolomiti Superski pass, valid in all 12.
Before you go.
- The day before, check which lifts and runs are open on the ski area's website or app: wind and snow can close a link.
- Start with the first lifts: a safari only works if you reach the last lift before it closes.
- On the slopes always follow the signs and the ski area's rules; altitudes and routes on this page are indicative.
