Scufoneda
A thick programme of skiing, activities on the snow and fun compose the new edition of the festival which in March celebrates telemark skiing in Val di Fassa
Scufoneda is the freeride and telemark skiing festival in Val di Fassa.
- Dates: from Friday 14 March to Sunday 16 March 2025
- Focus: telemark and freeride skiing
- Base camp: Moena, San Pellegrino and Alpe Lusia
These are the essential information - but there is much more to say about it - on the "Scufoneda", the festival dedicated to "free heel" skiing, at its 28th edition. The event is organised by the lively association "Scufons del Cogo" from Moena, guided by Felice Canclini, and in the years it has become richer and richer with contents and news. This liveliness has contributed to the spread of its fame, even abroad, appreciated by telemark passionate skiers, by the addicted freeriders and by all those who see the mountains as the ideal place to stay in contact with the nature and regain a deep sense of freedom.
The programm alternates: "ski experiences" (for pro skiers - beyond the borders of the valley, through Sella, Pordoi and the Marmolada) to guided freeride excursions, vintage skiing (the "Scufons" are known for their Ladin clothing which dates back to the beginning of the XX Century with wooden skis and poles), workshops on the safety in the mountains, snowshoe excursions and snow-yoga, massages and techniques of relaxation and energetical balance. As usual, the event's basecamp is at San Pellegrino Pass, by the colourful "Scufons village", where the best telemark and freeride skiing equipment companies present the latest trends and the new proposals with even the possibility to test the items. In addition, beginners of all ages will be able to approach the world of telemark skiing thanks to the free basic lessons offered by the Dolomiti ski school from Moena. And those who have never tried snowshoeing can delight in guided excursions, also free of charge. Online registration by 9 March.

- Friday 14 March at Chalet Valbona at Alpe Lusia, "Colorful Mountain Lunch"
