Obereggen is my favorite ski resort in the Dolomites!!! I snowboarded with my friends for 5 days straight and had a blast!!! The slopes have lots of variety and there are plenty of piste rosse (red slopes = medium hard. Equivalent to blue squares in America) for intermediate snowboarders like myself. They have 18 lifts, and the altitude goes as high as 2,500 meters. The snow condition is amazing, all fresh natural snow perfectly groomed! The best of all is the view..... mamma mia, the panoramic view of the Dolomites is priceless!!! The ski pass for the whole day (giornaliero) is €40 and half day afternoon pass (pomeridiano) is €27, which is good from12pm till 5pm. The first day I bought pomeridiano because we got there around 11am, but on the following day I decided to buy 4 day pass ( €148) not only to save money but also to skip the hassle of waiting in line to buy the pass every morning. The snowboard rental for 5 days was €81 including boots (Again, you save money and time by doing a long-term equipment rental instead of renting it daily) . I recommend to rent a locker together with the snowboard rental because you get a big discount ( €18for 5 days ) when combined with the equipment rental. Having a locker by the ski resort made our lives so much easier!! The locker was big enough to put 1 set of ski and 1 snowboard and 2 sets of boots, but at one point we even managed to squeeze in 2 sets of ski, & 1 set of snowboard, and 3 sets of boots (!!) which we called it " lo stile Italiano", haha. There is a special piste only for "Slittini" (sledges) and I highly recommend trying it if you've never done it! It's only €4 to rent a sledge and it's super fun!!! There are plenty of "refugio" (mountain hut) to take a break and sip some delicious bombardino (warm egg nog + brandy served with whipped cream) or calimero (bombardino with a shot of espresso) to warm up your body. At the refugio you can enjoy local cuisines like goulash, strudel, polenta with sausage, etc.... This part of Italy is heavily populated with German-speaking italians so the food also reflect the German heritage. I don't think there is twilight skiing but by 4pm I was already tired anyways. I hope to go back again one day!!! read more

Great ski resort! Whether you are skiing, snowboarding, sliding or simply are an Apreski fan. The resort is accessible from 3 villages which are connected with cable cars: Obereggen (closest to Bolzano), Pampeago and Predazzo. The slopes in Obereggen tend to be less crowded and more suitable for beginners, whereas Pampeago is the place to be in case there has been little snow fall. Prices for an adult day pass range from 39 to 44 Euros, depending on the season. The best about this ski resort is its proximity to Bolzano. It only takes 40min by public bus (departing from the Bolzano bus terminal, 400m from the train station) to reach Obereggen. read more
