The Dolomiti Superski is a ski area in Italy. Created in 1974, it is spread over an area of about 3,000 km2 in the North-East of Italy, and includes most of the winter ski slopes of the Dolomites.[1] Comprising 12 ski resorts and a total of 1,246 km of slopes, it is the largest ski area in the world.[2][3][4] It regularly hosts World Cup alpine skiing and snowboarding races.

It offers 450 ski lifts and 1,246 kilometers of slopes, about half of which are directly connected to each other, and all of which can be used with a single ski pass. About 1,160 kilometers of slopes (97%) are covered by snowmaking and skiability is guaranteed from December to April even without snowfall.[5] It reaches an altitude of 3,269 meters in the Arabba/Marmolada area.[5] It is located on the Dolomite mountains, which were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. It is an affiliate of the Ikon Pass.[6]
