How to get from Venice Marco Polo Airport to San Martino di Castrozza
San Martino di Castrozza sits in the Primiero mountains, below the Pale di San Martino. From Venice Marco Polo, public access uses an airport bus to Venezia Mestre, a train itinerary to Feltre and a bus through Primiero to the resort. The railway does not reach San Martino itself. Seasonal airport shuttles can reduce the changes on selected winter dates. Compare the arrival stop and flight connection carefully, since Fiera di Primiero, San Martino and Passo Rolle are different places.
Give San Martino town rather than Fiera di Primiero or Passo Rolle. Check the nearest stop for Tognola, Ces or Colverde-side accommodation and the local hotel pickup.

Skiing in San Martino di Castrozza: areas, altitude and pistes
Explore the San Martino di Castrozza resort guide →
The ski area lies below the Pale di San Martino, with distinct Tognola/Ces, Colverde and Passo Rolle approaches. Passo Rolle is higher along the road rather than the same village base. Choose accommodation and lessons around the sector you intend to use, then plan any local bus journey between areas.
Which ski area should you choose?
Tognola and Ces
Major ski sectors near the main town.
Colverde and Pra’ delle Nasse
Separate town-side access and learning terrain.
Passo Rolle
Higher pass area with its own road approach and local transfer need.
Piste difficulty: Pra’ delle Nasse and Tognola Baby provide learning options, while the domain also includes intermediate and more demanding marked runs. Fantasia2000, Rekord and Paradiso suit experienced skiers. Check sector connections and the local ski-bus timetable before arranging a long day.
After the transfer: Give San Martino town rather than Fiera di Primiero or Passo Rolle. Check the nearest stop for Tognola, Ces or Colverde-side accommodation and the local hotel pickup.
