Fantastic location with good weather. I come to Val Senales to ski every season and it's an absolute pleasure to ski down without stopping from 3200 to 2100 m, one of my favourite slopes. I remember skiing there in the late 70's. The glacier was much bigger but still today you ski within unique scenery. Avoid Val Senales with bad weather, wind can be very strong and lift could be closed. As well you will find top conditions until end of season beginning of May.
