Starting with the 2014/2015 ski season, the Helm and Rotwand ski mountains were connected to the three peaks in the Dolomites ski resort via the Drei Zinnen and Stiergarten gondola lifts. The panorama from the Stiergarten and Drei Zinnen mountain stations is simply breathtaking.

The winter sports resort around Sexten, formerly known as Sextner Dolomites, offers excellent family facilities in addition to a variety of well-groomed pistes for all ability levels. Children can have fun on the children's ski cross course, go snowboarding and enjoy three toboggan runs.

Passionate skiers can try the "Grande Giro delle Cime" ski adventure, which leads over five mountains in the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through three valleys and across the provincial border from South Tyrol to Belluno.

Two additional ski mountains are included in the Three Peaks in the Dolomites region: Haunold and Ski Area Val Comelico. They can be reached both on skis and by ski bus.

What visitors say about the resort

Three Peaks is praised for its tranquillity: the same Dolomite beauty as in the better-known valleys, but with noticeably fewer people and lower prices. Visitors highlight the long run from Helm into Austria and the good piste grooming.

Complaints concern the size and connectivity: around ninety kilometres of pistes, with sectors not fully connected and a bus running between them. The area is enough for a confident skier for two or three days. Another frequent theme is that there is little to do in the villages in the evening.
