The Formazza Valley is historically linked to cross-country skiing, and the Centro del Fondo in Riale, set in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Alps, is the perfect place for those who want to enjoy this sport, perhaps for the first time.
The cross-country skiing piste on the Riale plain in upper Formazza Valley extends for a total of 12 km and is meticulously designed to accommodate both beginners and professional skiers, including athletes who compete for many national teams, who can often be seen training in Riale.
Fans of this piste are very familiar with the difficulties and satisfaction of tackling the climbs at Diga di Morasco and the spectacular ascent at Chiesetta, the symbol of Riale, or the ascents at Stafel and Frua di Sopra, which are all located in a truly breath-taking setting.
