For those who prefer more gentle slopes the so called "Panorama" (5 km long) is the ideal one to return to Pozza: starting from the 2,050 m of Refuge Buffaure, enjoying the breath taking view over the Monzoni and the "Maerins Towers", down to the beginning of Val San Nicolò and to the gondola’s departure station.

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. It is definitely a sheer drop, starting from the hollow of Ciampac and descending to the village, dominated by the impressive "Colac" and by the volcanic "Crepa Neigra". Skiers can quickly glide along the pistes of Panorama Ski Tour leading to Pozza-Buffaure ski area.
