DESCRIPTION
Experience the emotion of the snow with a spectacular descent on the 4.5 km sled run in Molveno!
The toboggan run of the Skiarea Family Pradel Adventures awaits you for an adventure in total relaxation. Reach it by taking the two sections of the lift from Molveno or on foot starting from Andalo. The Pradel plateau is the ideal place for novice skiers and for families who want to enjoy the snow without stress. Enjoy an enchanting view of the Brenta and Molveno Dolomites.
The track is made up of two sections: one starts from the Rifugio La Montanara (1510 m) and arrives in Pradel (1367 m), while the other goes from Pradel to the Chalet Plan dei Sarnacli (1120 m). The total height difference is about 400 meters and the length of the track about 4.5 km. If you took the lifts from Molveno, a free shuttle will take you back from Sarnacli. If you want to rent sledges, a rental point is located in Pradel.
ITINERARY
From the parking area in Sarnacli di Andalo, and precisely near the Chalet Plan dei Sarnacli (1120 m) and the Church of the Madonna di Loreto, follow the paved road backwards to the crossroads. Now go right and go up to the Val Biole car park (1180 m). Here begins the dirt road that will take us first to Baita Pineta (1300 m), then to Malga Tovre (1460 m) and finally to Rifugio La Montanara (1510 m). Go in the direction of the Monte Pradel chairlift station and position yourself at the entrance to the slope, easily identifiable by the writing BIG HERO.
