Frequently asked questions

Ski passes and purchase

What can I buy online?

The day pass and the four consecutive hours pass, at a lower price than at the ticket office. Season passes, nursery slope passes, night skiing, the Family Promo and the weekly promotions are available at the ticket office. Online sales are coming soon.

Do I need to book my ski pass in advance?

No. Ski passes are sold at the ticket office on the day, with no booking needed. Buying online just saves you a few euros and the queue at the ticket office.

How does the Family Promo work?

Buy at least one adult ski pass and one reduced pass for a child up to and including 17 years of age from the same family at the ticket office: from then on the 20% discount applies to all family members, grandparents included. ID documents are required.

Can promotions be combined?

No. The weekly promotions and the Family Promo cannot be added together: at the ticket office we will suggest the best option for your group.

Up to what age do children pay less? And the youngest ones?

There are four age bands: baby from 0 to 4 years, child from 5 to 8, junior from 9 to 17, adult from 18 to 66. From 67 years the Over rate applies. Children up to 8 years ski free at night when accompanied by a paying adult.

Are helmets and insurance compulsory?

Helmets are compulsory on the slopes. Third-party liability insurance is required by law for skiers: if you don’t already have one, you can ask for it at the ticket office together with your ski pass.

Season and conditions

When is high season and when is low season?

High season: all Saturdays, Sundays and mid-week public holidays, the Immaculate Conception long weekend (5 – 8 December), the Christmas holidays (23 December – 6 January), Carnival (6 – 13 February) and Easter (25 – 30 March). All other weekdays are low season.

How do I know if the lifts are open?

The status of slopes and lifts is updated every morning on this page. If in doubt, you can call the ticket office on +39 015 744102.

What happens if the lifts close because of bad weather?

Under the ticket office regulations, no refund is given if the lifts stop, partly or completely, or if a single slope is closed because of unforeseen events (strong wind, a technical fault, a sudden power cut). To choose the best time to come up with peace of mind, we recommend checking the official forecasts and weather bulletins of ARPA Piemonte.

How many slopes are there, and for what level?

Eighteen kilometres of slopes served by eight lifts: two blue slopes for beginners, nine intermediate red slopes and one black, the Dosso Grande. Plus five cross-country loops, from the 2 km nursery trail to the 9 km touring trail.

Learning to ski

I’ve never skied: where do I start?

At the nursery slope, where you’ll find three conveyor belts for beginners: a very small one for the first turns and two longer ones to build up confidence on skis or snowboard before your first chairlift ride. The nursery slope pass is open to everyone (even without booking a lesson) and is sold by the hour: 20 € for one hour, 32 € for the whole day. If you are skiing or snowboarding for the first time, we still recommend relying on an instructor: Bielmonte’s two ski schools have more than sixty instructors, and you can join a group course or book a private lesson.

At what age can children start?

Usually from 4 years, when they can stand on skis and follow the instructor’s directions, but it varies a lot from child to child. For the youngest, the Ski Schools run Baby courses that combine play with a first approach to skiing. At the nursery slope the little ones also have their own conveyor belt and a very gentle slope. For the right advice on age, ask the ski schools directly.

Are there multi-day courses?

Yes. Those enrolled in group courses can buy multi-day ski passes for 5 or 8 days, not necessarily consecutive, valid during the two-hour lesson. They are reserved for course participants and are booked through the ski schools.

Getting to and staying in Bielmonte

How do I get to Bielmonte?

Bielmonte is at 1,500 metres on the Panoramica Zegna road, in the Biella Alps. By car, leave the A4 at Carisio and continue towards Cossato, Valdilana and Trivero; from the east you can leave the A26 at Romagnano Sesia. It takes about 100 minutes from Milan and Turin, and about two hours from Varese and from Malpensa and Caselle airports.

Do I need snow chains or winter tyres?

The Panoramica Zegna is a mountain road: from mid-November to mid-April you must drive with winter tyres or carry snow chains. The road is cleared after snowfall, but it is always best to come prepared.

Where can I eat?

On the mountain you’ll find Bar della Panoramica and Chalet Massaro, where the weekly lunch and aperitif promotions also apply. Along the Panoramica Zegna there are also mountain huts and inns serving Biella cuisine.

Can I ski in the evening too?

Yes. The Piazzale slope has been floodlit since 1972 and on some evenings during the season it stays open after sunset. The evening ski pass costs 27 € for adults and 15 € for young people aged 9 to 17; children up to 8 years ski free when accompanied by a paying adult. The calendar of evening openings is published on bielmonteneve.it.

What can I do if I don’t ski?

Bielmonte is inside Oasi Zegna, a hundred square kilometres of freely accessible protected land. As well as cross-country skiing there are snowshoe hikes, walks on the snow and the Baby Park for the little ones. Within twenty minutes you’ll find mountain huts, inns and the wellness centre.

Parking and services

Where can I park?

Piazzale 1 has about 150 parking spaces: some free, some covered and paid in high season (7 € for the whole day, 4 € from 1 pm). From Piazzale 2 you can reach the slopes directly via the Buca di Forno ski lift.

How can I pay at the ticket office and on the mountain?

There are three ticket offices for ski passes: the main ticket office at Piazzale 1 and the one at the Piazzale chairlift accept cash, credit and debit cards; the ticket office at the Buca di Forno ski lift accepts cash only. In the mountain huts and bars, accepted payment methods depend on the individual operators.

Is there a cash machine?

Yes, next to the main ticket offices there is a Banca Sella cash machine.

Can I reach the parterre with a pushchair or a wheelchair?

Yes. Near the stairs and the main ticket office there is a lift that goes straight to the parterre level, where you’ll find the ski schools and the Panoramica bar.

Where are the disabled parking spaces and toilets?

Reserved parking spaces and accessible toilets are located under the covered car park of Piazzale 1.

Is there a ski storage?

Ski storage is not currently available in Bielmonte.

Where can I rent equipment?

In Bielmonte and Oasi Zegna there are several rental points for alpine skiing, snowboarding, ski touring, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. You’ll find the full list with contacts on the Bielmonte ski page, under Info and services.

From what age can children ride the chairlift alone?

Children up to 8 years of age, or shorter than 1.25 m, may only ride the chairlift when accompanied by an adult.

Can I go down on a sledge?

No. For safety reasons the law forbids going down the downhill slopes on a sledge.
