Y ON THE SLOPES A trip to Civetta is truly an all-inclusive ski experience in that it offers something for every ability of skier and rider. There are 90 kilometres of wide, pleasant pistes, exciting tree lined runs and plenty of adventure. Students will find an English-speaking ski and ride school to help them acquire the skills necessary to conquer this stunning mountain. Did YoU KNOW? OFF THE SLOPES If you and your students can’t bear to leave the slopes once the sun has set, Civetta lights 5 kilometres of its slopes most nights. Those who want to leave the slopes will find an Old World Italian village complete with ice rink, shopping and ice cream parlour. Of course, our nightly inclusive après ski programme should ensure tired happy bedtimes. 21 | EUROPE Monte Civetta is thought to have been first climbed by Simeone di Silvestro in 1855, which, if true, makes it the first major Dolomite peak to be climbed.
