EUROJUMELAGES – POZZA DI FASSA 2025
Our ski week in the Dolomites has become a tradition and this year took place from 19 January to 26 January in Pozza Di Fassa.
The “Friendship Week” was launched in the early 1980s by Nicola Di Biase from Milan. Nicola was one of the four founders of today's ‘Eurojumelages’.
After several stays at Nicola Di Biase's side in Pozza Di Fassa, and after he had promised to continue the “Friendship Week”, Jean-Luc Heller from Jumelages Européens de Strasboug-Alsace’ took over the management of this ski event at the Hôtel Meida in Pozza Di Fassa in 2010.
This year, 60 skiers took part in the friendship week, coming from Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and France, with the majority of participants coming from Alsace and 10 from Savoy, including our loyal skiing friends Serge and Michel.
The programme of this year's ski week consisted of exploring the vast domain of the ski slopes and the groups were accompanied and supported by Jean-Luc, François and Jean-Marc.
The ‘non-skiers’ hiking group was guided by Sybille and Georges through the beautiful landscape of the Dolomites, and they were introduced to the culinary specialities of Ladin cuisine.
Saturday was free for the participants, so we were able to visit the city of BOZEN and the famous market, where you could buy many delicacies.
Afterwards, we visited the museum where the remarkable ‘ÖTZI’ is exhibited. We were very impressed by the 5300-year-old mummy.
On Sunday, the internationally renowned cross-country skiing race “La Marcialonga” took place; the routes also close to our hotel and we could watch the event.
