How to reach the experience
Lots of adrenaline and exciting insights into the daily work at cable car and lift stations is offered to experienced slope athletes choosing the “Free Fall Ride” in the ski resort 3 Zinnen Dolomites. Known as one of the steepest descents in the Alps, the deep black “Holzriese” slope is a big challenge – not only for skiers but also for the staff members working at cable cars and lifts, who are in charge of excellent snow conditions and perfect slope grooming.
What exactly does this challenge entail? Courageous individuals can find out as they join a snow-cat driver during an evening drive in the cockpit of a snow groomer. Being a passenger in a vehicle responsible for grooming the steepest slope in Italy groomed on a daily basis is nearly as exhilarating as skiing the slope itself! At this gradient (72%), “even the snow groomers have to wear mountaineering crampons” as the machines rely on winches to secure them in the most treacherous areas.
It’s an unforgettable experience for anyone who wants to have a closer look to the technical difficulties of operating a machine with precision in extreme circumstances.
