Simply aim for the heights! Head up to mountain refuges, summit crosses, the start of the piste. Look across to the chain of mountains on the horizon and down towards the valley. Across the tops of forests and expanses of meadows. Simply follow the call of the Dolomites, hiking, cycling or skiing – tobogganing, cross-country skiing or snowboarding! And take the time once in a while to stop, wonder, and reflect. The mountain pastures and refuges of Obereggen in the Val d'Ega will give you that unique lofty feeling, too! The will of the Latemar to send adventure your way is unflagging. Obereggen is acutely aware of the value and beauty of nature: considerable attention is therefore paid to environmental protection and sustainability. All year round – time and again! Yes, in Obereggen you can really rise above it all.
* On the occasion of the Winter Olympic Games in Predazzo, access to the Latemar Dolomites ski carousel will be possible only via Pampeago or Obereggen from February 2 to 25. The services within the ski area will remain unchanged.
Ahead of the 2025/26 winter season, the Latemar Dolomites ski area is set to unveil a significant upgrade: a state-of-the-art 10-passenger cable car will replace the existing 37-year-old Latemar chairlift, which has been in operation since 1988. Manufactured by the renowned company Doppelmayr, the new cable car will span 1,085 metres, connecting the valley station at 1,760 metres with the mountain station at 2,015 metres, with a vertical rise of 255 metres.
With a transport capacity of up to 2,700 passengers per hour and a speed of 5 metres per second, the journey time will be just 4 minutes. This new lift will significantly improve comfort, efficiency and capacity, enhancing the overall experience. It will also improve access to the heart of the ski area, providing a smoother and quicker journey to the top.
For the 2025/26 winter season, the Absam Stube at 1,732 metres is a fully renovated Alpine restaurant offering a modern take on tradition. Located at the base of the Absam-Maierl lift, it’s accessible by lift from Obereggen, and caters to skiers, tobogganists, and winter hikers.
In addition to the new restaurant, the Absam-Maierl chairlift features 6-seater chairs in a fresh Latemar design for increased comfort and safety.
The Absam Stube blends traditional Alpine elements with modern design: black-stained wood, bold checkered patterns, playful touches like snowboard swings, and a vibrant atmosphere. Its panoramic terrace offers stunning views of the Latemar Dolomites, perfect for a relaxing break.
Designed by Felix Pardeller of Herzbluat_architecture, the Absam Stube harmonizes nostalgia with modernity, featuring natural materials, industrial surfaces, and retro-inspired graphics. It’s a lively spot for enjoyment, beauty, and relaxation in the mountains.
The slalom, with which Obereggen celebrates the 42nd edition of the European Cup, will take place on Friday 19 December 2025. The race is part of a busy programme in the region with three World Cup and two European Cup races.
With a maximum slope gradient of 55 per cent, it is also a challenge for the world's best slalom racers.
