Alleghe Previsioni Neve

I enjoyed reading the last two comments concerning this typical Italian resort. A wonderfully relaxed and quiet pace to the skiing. It's appreciable when you ski onto the Sella Ronda 'round' how frenetically stupid skiing can become. I've used Alleghe now for several years as a gateway to backpack ski tour round the Dolomites. Here and Falcade are excellent gateways to start a tour staying at the mountain refugios. As an average intermediate skier it's quite easy to tour the Dolomites with a 30 litre pack, staying either in valley towns like this or in high altitude refugios perched at 1000 metres or so. You're very likely not to hear an English voice on the slopes in Falcade; come 2pm you'll have the slopes to yourself as the Italians will be sat in bars taking in the sun by then. There again you can go to France, pay twice as much, queue up for hours to ski the same slopes and go back to the same chalet/hotel...
