THE NEW CHALET 44 DOLOMITES LOUNGE (1,967 m a.s.l.)
The 2018-19 ski season will see the opening of a new panoramic restaurant on the slopes of the Bellamonte-Alpe Lusia ski area. It will be located near the station of the second section of the Bellamonte 3.0 gondola lift, in the Morea area.
With its wide and spectacular terrace overlooking the Pale di San Martino Dolomites and the Lagorai mountain range, the Chalet 44 Dolomites Lounge restaurant promises to become the next new attraction of the Bellamonte-Alpe Lusia ski area. The panoramic terrace, covering 600 square metres and with its modern and essential contours and large windows, defines the exterior of the restaurant. Indeed, the architecture is inspired by the contemporary style of the Bellamonte 3.0 gondola station.

NEW MOUNTAIN HUT (2,170 m a.s.l.) AND SKI SLOPE
During the Christmas holidays, the new mountain hut of the Alpe Cermis will be inaugurated in Forcella di Bombasel, at an altitude of 2,170 m. The location was chosen for the extraordinary panoramic view of the Eastern Dolomites, the Lagorai range and the Pale di San Martino Dolomites and for the fact that its pleasant dining hall opens directly onto the Prafiorì ski slope. The architectural style successfully combines the modern with the traditional and the essentially wooden structure emanates a certain romantic appeal.The cuisine offered is essentially “Italian style”, with attention to local traditions but with an eye to the horizon. Indeed, fish and seafood will also be available. A range of fine wines has been carefully selected to cover both meals and aperitifs. The mountain hut can also boast its very own ski slope as the Busabella red piste will be inaugurated in the same period.

NEW TOBOGGAN RUN AND RENOVATION OF THE CASERINA CHALET (2,000 m a.s.l.)
A new toboggan run next to the Latemar Ski Centre in Pampeago will guarantee plenty of fun for children and beginners. This 400-metre slope, which can be reached with the Latemar chairlift, will be located next to the Bip Club play park and, what’s more, the toboggan can be loaded on the Campo Scuola ski lift. Meanwhile, the Chalet Caserina of Pampeago, which can be reached with the Agnello chairlift, will welcome guests with a decidedly glamorous makeover. The new management has renovated the rustic-style interiors with some contemporary charm and every detail of the new furnishings has in some way been inspired by the Latemar Dolomites. On the terrace of the chalet, with its splendid view across the Latemar group, wooden deckchairs, soft fabric poufs and bean bags, guests can treat themselves to pleasant moments of relaxation. The gourmet cuisine offers a surprisingly vast “Italian style” menu enriched by the genuine flavours of the Val di Fiemme. The Chalet also organises suggestive evening meals under the stars, with the possibility of arriving by snowmobile and, later, getting back in the same way or on foot. The Caserina chalet overlooks the Agnello slope of the Latemar Ski Centre which is dotted with artworks by internationally renowned artists. Indeed, the piste and its variant run through the well-known RespirArt open-air art exhibition, one of the highest in the world (www.respirart.com).
