SKI

Carona has a ski lift that allows reaching the ski slopes, and in particular the local ski area of the Carisole. The first ski stopover, located at 1740m, has the name “Carisole” and here there is also a ski school. Going up, you can find more ski slopes, of increasing difficulty: they’re called “Muro del Giretta”, “Giretta”, “del Siltro”, “Conca Nevosa” and “delle Terre Rosse”. Thanks to an excellent snowmaking system, you can ski even in absence of snowfalls.

The ski slopes of Carona have been appreciated by the ski mountaineering lovers for decades, thanks to the presence of the Parravicini Cup, a skiing competition that in 2017 has reached its 68° edition; this competition takes place near the Rifugio Calvi mountain hut and it’s valid for international competitions.

Near the Carona lakes, you can practice cross-country skiing.
