Winter sports

There are two ski lifts, called Rieno and Baby Genzianella , built by the Leitner company in 1982. Although the Pian di sole Kraktion is at a very modest altitude, it has managed to survive, although it often spent years with little snow, especially in the 1990s. In the 3rd millennium, the resort joined the Neveazzurra project , which led to increased cooperation between the VCO's winter sports resorts. The small station is also equipped with a good artificial snow system, including 6 snow cannons. Thanks to this investment, the site has managed to ensure that it remains open even in winters with little snow.

In the 2008-2009 season, the ski resort was able to carry out some training units of the Italian National Special Slalom with athletes such as Giorgio Rocca , Giuliano Razzoli and Manfred Mölgg thanks to the snow conditions .
