OTHER SPORTS

There is something for everyone.
In summer & winter there are many sporting options one can try in Valle Maira.

MTB, montain skiing, trekking, etc.

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING

The Cross Country ski runs are in the hamlet of Chiappera (Acceglio) and develop into many tracks passing through the inhabited centre where one can see the typical local architecture. Then follow on to the foot of the Rocca Croce Provincale ending at the Stroppa waterfall. We will be able to practice both the classical technique (with rails) and the free technique (no rails). The tracks vary with both snowfall and the decisions of the track manager; therefore, it is appropriate to ask for updated information on the tracks and their connections (refer to Campo Base -Chiappera).

For hotel customers we have equipment available for rent: € 9 per person for skis, shoes, & ski poles.

After a good skiing session, you can enjoy a well deserved rest with a sandwich and a beer!

Or maybe you would prefer a hot chocolate or a piece of cake?

Besides us, the fireplace will warm you.
