About Befana on Skis Brusson

For the Epiphany Eve, the Brusson Ski School transforms the slopes of the Palasinaz ski area into a magical stage: night skiing under the stars and a fun Befana hunt for all ages. A special evening on the snow of Val d'Ayas, with illuminated descents, entertainment, and the anticipation of the old woman who brings sweets and coal, to cheerfully conclude the Christmas holidays.

A Magical Evening on the Snow

During the Epiphany period, the Brusson Ski School organizes La Befana sugli Sci, an evening event that combines night skiing with a Befana hunt on the slopes of the Palasinaz ski area, above the village of Brusson, in Val d'Ayas (Province of Aosta).

Skiing Under the Stars

The illuminated slopes offer the thrill of skiing at dusk, in an atmosphere suspended between the snowy mountains. Ski instructors and entertainers accompany the evening, designed for both expert skiers and families with children.

The Befana Hunt

The most anticipated moment is the Befana hunt: children, on skis or at the edge of the slopes, search for the friendly old woman who, according to Italian Epiphany tradition, distributes sweets and stockings. An original way to experience one of the most beloved holidays by the little ones.

Brusson, with its Palasinaz ski area, is one of the most family-friendly ski destinations in the Aosta Valley. La Befana sugli Sci is now a regular fixture on the winter calendar, attracting residents and tourists for a different kind of evening.
