Starting from Pozza di Fassa, in a modern automatic coupling gondola, one reaches Buffaure where ski and snowboard enthusiasts can let themselves go on about 16 km of pistes, nearly all of which are reds. Surely, one must try the "Panoramica", a run of a good 6 km that from the Rifugio Baita Cuz at 2.050 m, descends through dense woods, in view of the Monzoni and of the towers of the Maerins, down into Val San Nicolò, to then return to gondola station. From the town of Pozza, going up towards Meida one finds the Aloch Skistadium with the black piste of the same name; brightly illuminated for skiing at night, a real ski stadium of 1.000 m, and a 500 m difference of level with an average gradient of 27% (49% maximum). It hosts the Italian downhill ski team training sessions, numerous European Cup competitions and top level events.
From Buffuare, in a wide itinerary of pistes all within the Val di Fassa, the ski tour Panorama takes one from Pozza to Alba di Canazei. From there one can go on to Belvedere, Col Rodella and Sellaronda, in the Dolomiti Superski carousel. Pozza offers a nursery slope with much play equipment in the Fraine-Pera di Fassa area, and a cross country circuit, also lit up in the evening.
