Ski Civetta
Ski Civetta is a ski area located in the Dolomites, northeastern Italy. It was established in 1982 by connecting the ski facilities of Selva di Cadore, which had been operational since 1978, with the ski resorts of Alleghe and Zoldo. Since the 1993/94 winter season, Ski Civetta has been part of the Dolomiti Superski network.
The ski area offers approximately 80 kilometers of slopes served by a total of 25 lifts, connecting the villages of Alleghe, Selva di Cadore, and Palafavera in Val di Zoldo during both the winter and summer seasons.
