Holiday apartment in Pescul: skiing, mountain trails and tradition

Pescul combines winter sports, mountain trails and living tradition within a compact thematic area. When choosing a holiday apartment in Pescul, it therefore matters whether you want to combine days on the slopes, hikes, cycling experiences or cultural discoveries.

Winter sports directly connected with Pescul

The Val Fiorentina lifts start in the Pescul district. Two four-seater chairlifts from Pescul provide access to the Ski Civetta ski area. There you can expect 80 kilometres of slopes, including two slopes illuminated for night skiing. The offering also includes slopes for skiers of all ability levels. This makes Pescul one of the places where you can closely align your winter plans with the ski area and your preferred way of spending the day.

A ski tour to Monte Fertazza also starts at the lifts’ square in Pescul. Trail no. 569 leads through the winter forest and offers a different experience from a classic day of piste skiing. For orientation in Val Fiorentina, the ski bus connects Pescul, Santa Fosca, Selva di Cadore and Fedare at Passo Giau.

Mountain trails with views and different paces

The route from Pescul to Cima Fertazza leads across meadows and panoramic sections. Along the way, views open up over Val Fiorentina, Monte Civetta and Pelmo. The route particularly appeals to visitors who want to keep their eyes on not only the trail but also the changing landscapes while walking.

An easier tour leads from Pescul to Rifugio Aquileia and takes about an hour. The path crosses mountain streams and meadows with freely grazing animals and passes through a picnic area before views of Monte Pelmo open up.

Two chairlifts departing from Pescul are equipped to carry bicycles and can reduce the difference in elevation on the ascent to Cima Fertazza. This expands the ways of experiencing the mountain world with an option for e-bike riders and cyclists who do not want to manage the climb solely under their own power.

Tradition and excursion destinations in Val Fiorentina

For the traditional Mascorada, Matazìgn and Re del Bosc, according to tradition arriving from Forcella Forada, reach Pescul by horse-drawn sleigh before the Mascorada begins. In addition to its sporting themes, this event gives the village a cultural dimension that is interesting for varied travel plans.

Another destination is in Selva di Cadore: the Museo Vittorino Cazzetta displays the finds discovered in Mondeval. At Cima Fertazza, the Ristoro Belvedere can also be reached from Pescul by chairlift or on foot via various routes. Michela and her family have been welcoming hikers, skiers, snowshoers and e-bike riders there in summer and winter for more than forty years.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Pescul, you can take these different focal points into consideration: winter sports, short and longer trails, bicycle transport, regional tradition and a museum visit in Selva di Cadore. Pescul is therefore suitable as a clear base for a stay whose programme alternates between active hours and cultural impressions.
