Three glacier ski areas are now open in Italy following the re-opening of Val Senales at the weekend. It joins Passo Stelvio and the Presena glacier above Passo Tonale, which had one red and one black run open at the weekend but it likely to close in the near future. However Cervinia will re-open a week on Saturday for summer skiing and boarding keeping the Italian choices up at three.

Val Senales, in Italy’s South Tyrol, opened its Nitro Snowpark for the summer season on Saturday with a special opening party including barbecue BBQ, beer and “Tirolerpfeif”.

Events coming up during the six-week summer snow season includes Girls Weekend on the 25th-26th June , a Rookie Camp for children from July 23rd to 10th and a ‘Koolt Action Weekend’ with Skate/Snow/BMX and soccer and beach volleyball tournaments.
