Once at the top, you can choose between two ski runs: the Lagazuoi piste, which skirts the mountain and ends at the Falzarego Pass, and the famous Armentarola piste, which connects Cortina d'Ampezzo with the Badia Valley.
The sunny Lagazuoi piste overlooks the entire Cortina Delicious ski area.

The 8.5 km long Armentarola is definitely the most famous slope in the Dolomites and one of the most beautiful ski runs in the world.
Arriving from Cortina d’Ampezzo or Badia, take the Lagazuoi cable car at the Falzarego pass, which in only three minutes reaches an altitude of 2.732 metres. Once you reach the top, a breathtaking panorama opens up: make a stop to enjoy it from the terrace of the top station. From there, the spectacular descent from Mount Lagazuoi to the Capanna Alpina Refuge meanders through a unique, majestic landscape.
The Armentarola slope unfolds along the foot of the imposing Fanes mountain in an enchanting fairy-tale valley surrounded by majestic castles of rock and frozen waterfalls, making this magical descent an endless flow of thrills and surprises.
And, as in every self-respecting fairy tale, the ski track ends with a horse-drawn tow that brings the skiers back to the starting point, from where they can ski down the same slope again or go on fabulous new adventures, either continuing towards the Badia ski area or returning to the Falzarego Pass ski area by means of a taxibus.
