The opening of the slopes was anticipated in comparison tothe past, when the first ski lifts came out of hibernation only at the end ofNovember, but thanks to October snowfalls and the work of the people who haveshot artificial snow on the slopes through snow cannons, the aficionados of thepearl of Dolomites had the possibility to inaugurate the slopes before themiddle of the month. The first ski lifts opened in Faloria, and they did notremain open only in the weekend, as happened in the past, but the whole week.In addition to Cortina, many other ski resorts have taken advantage fromOctober snowfalls, and from Bormia to Solda, from Madesimo to Cervinia, theslopes have been inaugurated in advance. Good news for the hoteliers and the real estate agentsof Cortina and of many other mountain villages, which are now ready to welcomethe tourists that prefer skiing holidays to travels to some exotic and hotdestinations. The real estate agencies assert that the reservations forChristmas holidays are very promising, especially for those cities that havebeen able to diversify their offer to give the tourists much more than slopesand ski lifts. The winter tourists of 2000, indeed, do not only want to havefun on the slopes, they expect something more from their holidays. Even alpineskiing seems to be less popular, to the benefit of many other activities, likesnowboard and freestyle, but also snowshoes walks, winter trekking, night skiand snow golf. Offering only alpine ski is not sufficient to keep pace with thetimes: the resorts that are already achieving good results, indeed, are thosewho are actualized and diversified: in addition to Cortina, the zones of Courmayeurand Cervinia stand out for a variety of services which can attract differenttypes of tourists, who have different interests and expectations. The strengthsof these resorts, in addition to a reputation gained over time, are thediversity of the slopes, which are fit for different activities, andnightlights, which allow tourist to ski also when it gets dark, as well as manyother features that do not belong to the idea of skiing holidays tout court.When we speak about Cortina, dont you think about trendy restaurants andfamous shops that give tourists the possibility to go shopping or at leastwindow-shopping? This is also part of the fascination of Cortina and of otherski resorts which are notably popular, and this is also what tourists expectfrom their stay in one of these resorts. Other cities and villages are specializes in wellnessor gastronomy; what is certain is that tourists want more, and although naturegives us a hand with heavy and anticipated snowfalls, snow alone is notsufficient anymore.
