The new year opens with good news for winter sports enthusiasts. As Dubai, Holland, France and England, also Italy –\u00a0in Selvino<\/a><\/strong>, near Bergamo to be precise –\u00a0will have its indoor ski resort<\/strong>, in order to allow fans to not abandon skis or snowshoes year-round.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The work is going to start in 2012, and will lead to the realization of the largest skidome\u00a0 in the world<\/a><\/strong>, including two ski slopes, a trail for snowboarding and freestyle skiing, a trail for beginners, an ice climbing wall, cross-country ski slopes, a ski lift, a gondola and a carpet lift for beginners.<\/p>\n

It will rise in Selvino, in the province of Bergamo, and it\u2019s going to be the first indoor ski resort of Italy<\/strong>, a modern structure, where winter sports will be available 365 days a year, along with other services and facilities, such as parking, a hotel, the Museum of ski, and a roadway, but also pubs, restaurants, shops and a wellness centre. A cutting-edge facility that follows in the wake of the “Ski Dubai<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d where since 2005 one can ski all year round in the middle of the desert, indoors of course.<\/p>\n

This facility will set the record for the longest track in the world, the one with the greatest vertical drop and the first to be completely underground into a slope (two 600 mt long tracks with a drop of 130 mt).<\/p>\n

A work that is expected to be ready for Milan World Expo 2015<\/strong> <\/a>and will increase the opportunities that Lombardy makes available for Italian and international visitors.<\/p>\n

The dome that will cover the white artificial slopes, will be covered in turn, in such a way as to minimize the environmental impact and save energy for refrigeration.<\/p>\n

Half an hour away from the airport of Orio al Serio<\/strong> and about an hour from Milan, the Skidome in Selvino<\/strong> will attract winter skiers from around the world, while in summer it could be a favored destination for the many hardcore mountain skiers and riders who don\u2019t want to give up on winter sports even when everybody else is at sea! In short, a real ski resort, which will excite any type of visitor. In addition, the facility can host Europe Cup ski races or become a training ground for professional skiers, who presently have to use a similar structure in The Netherlands for their training.<\/p>\n

Well then, a major project, to offer tourists one more reason to visit such a wonderful country as Italy: Enjoy!<\/p>\n
