Cross-country Skiing and Biathlon around Silandro and Lasa

In addition to the cross-country paradise of Langtaufers, there are two excellent centers of Nordic ski sports in the holiday region Silandro and Lasa: the Biathlon Center in Martello Valley and the Slingia Nordic Ski Center in Watles.

The Slingia/Schlinig Nordic Ski Center and the Martello Biathlon Center
The Slingia Nordic Ski Center in the Watles ski area is a meeting point for the international cross-country skiing scene. The main ski-slope is of average difficulty level spanning a height differential of some 150m. Near the classic cross-country ski-route, is the 15km-long Slingia trail, where cross-country skating can also be practiced. The Martello Biathlon Center (altitude 1700m) has approximately 12km of well-prepared slopes and boasts the first electronic shooting facility of its kind in Italy, and is as a result regarded as the international biathlon spot in South Tyrol.
