The 2026/27 project combines two lifts into a six-seater and adds Larici and Dolomia Funslope. The Passo Rolle link remains a separate project.
At Alpe Tognola, the Scandola–Conca sector is being reorganised around a single six-seat chairlift. The project for winter 2026/27 replaces the two old three-seat lifts and includes new connecting runs, a reconfiguration of San Martino Snowpark and increased snowmaking capacity.
For skiers returning to the slopes above San Martino di Castrozza, it is not just the lift that changes. The work alters the routes used to move around the bowl and reach the different descents.
One lift line replaces two old chairlifts
The new Scandola is a detachable chairlift: the chairs slow down in the stations to make boarding and getting off easier, while travelling faster along the line. The official documentation gives a length of 1,324 metres, a vertical rise of 308 metres and a capacity of 2,650 people per hour.
The project reduces the number of stations from four to two and the lift towers from 33 to ten. The stated journey time is four minutes and 27 seconds. These are specifications of the planned lift; the way a day’s skiing actually unfolds will also depend on which pistes are open and the flow of skiers.
Larici and Funslope serve different purposes
The new Larici run provides a connection towards Scandola. Dolomia Funslope, by contrast, is designed for fun: it is not simply another name for the same link. The operator presents the two additions as providing a combined total of around one and a half kilometres of new pistes.
The Conca run is also being extended, and the snowpark is being reorganised. To find your way around after the work, use the updated piste map rather than relying only on the routes you remember from the previous season.
Those skiing with children or less experienced companions should distinguish the route needed to get from one place to another from the features they can choose to use during the descent. A connecting run and a line with snowpark features do not serve the same purpose.
Snowmaking and a new place to stop
The programme includes increased snowmaking capacity across the sector and a new Skibar Scandola with a south-facing terrace. The changes therefore affect both the skiing and the places where people can stop and meet up.
The official presentation warns that some secondary finishing works may continue into 2027. The start of the season should therefore not be taken as automatic confirmation that every part of the project will be available at the same time.
The future San Martino–Passo Rolle connection also remains a separate project, scheduled for December 2027. It should not be included in next winter’s routes simply because it appears in the same investment programme for the destination.
