Alpin Arena Senales is looking forward to the winter season

It's only September, the first leaves are turning colour at lower altitudes and we're already thinking about winter? What seems premature is not so unrealistic. On the Val Senales Glacier, at 3,212 metres above sea level, where temperatures don't rise above 15 degrees even in summer, the first snowflakes are already falling in September. What does that mean? That we are the first ski resort in South Tyrol to open its doors for the winter season - in the second half of September. Today, we want to share with you why we always look forward to the winter season in particular.

The new cabrio cable car in the italian Alps

I was really surprised when they started to dismantle the entire cable car in Val Senales, Italy, last summer to put up a completely new lift.

But I find it fascinating how technological progress is bringing the habitats of humans and us eagles ever closer together. Cable cars up the mountains are just one way for people to take to the skies.

Summer holiday in the Alps

Blooming mountain meadows, tinkling cowbells, a gentle breeze, and unobstructed views as far as the horizon - is this what you imagine your summer holiday in the Alps to be like? The rustic Val Senales is one of the few places that has retained its original charm; in the Alpin Arena Senales, you can experience a South Tyrolean summer just as it might have been a hundred years ago, plus a few welcome comforts.
