Two countries ski arena

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zwei Länder Skiarena is a cross-border association of five ski areas in Vinschgau (Italy) and in Oberengericht (Austria), whose ski lifts and slopes can be used with a single ski pass. The association was founded in 2017 by the Vinschgau ski arena and the Nauders ski area and is the continuation of the ski paradise Reschenpass , which was dissolved in 2015.

The following five ski areas have come together to form a network:

About the slopes in kilometers: Many ski areas indicate that the slopes are too long. The German cartographer and journalist Christoph Schrahe had already noticed and criticized this in 2013. He has developed a method and a seal of approval to correct this and to indicate correct slope lengths.
