Forni di Sopra is inside the Friulian Dolomites nature park, a UNESCO-listed corner of the range that has almost no development at all — the contrast with the Sella valleys three hours west is total.

The skiing is small and family-oriented, and the appeal is the quiet and the setting.

Forni di Sopra: common questions

Is Forni di Sopra good for a first week?

Yes, if what you want is Dolomite scenery without Dolomite prices or queues. The ski area is small, calm and inexpensive, sitting inside the Friulian Dolomites nature park, a UNESCO corner of the range with almost no development. Do not expect the scale of the Sella valleys three hours west; expect quiet slopes and a setting that makes up for it. Udine is around an hour and a half, Venice about two and a half.
