The "Ciampac" is one of the most famous and exciting black slopesof Val di Fassa. It has been recently enlarged and improved becoming accessible also to less skilled skiers. It is a very technical run, about 2,8 km long and having an altitude drop of 660 m.

Skiers can quickly glide along the pistes of Panorama Ski Tour leading to Pozza-Buffaure ski area.
