Average temperatures on the rise and little snow: even the ski resorts of Friuli Venezia Giulia are forced to deal with the weather that works against them and, in view of the end of the year and the beginning of 2023, there will be some changes to the openings.
While all six poles remain operational, in some districts certain slopes have been closed due to lack of snow, especially at lower altitudes.
However, the desire to ski on the slopes of the region is not lacking: since Boxing Day there has been a daily presence of at least 15,000 enthusiasts, where in recent days the most “popular” ski areas have been those of Tarvisio, Zoncolan and Piancavallo.
Opening ends in early January
