Participation is free of charge and reserved for retailers and renters, with a maximum of two testers per retail store.

How does it work?

If you have already participated in the Prove Libere Retail organized by Pool Sci Italia in the past two seasons, you already have the accreditation code needed to register. Simply go to step 2, "Registration Form", to access the restricted area and register your testers.

If you have participated before but cannot remember your access code, click here to send an email to customer service and receive your access codes.

If you do not have the necessary accreditation, please submit your information by filling out the following form.

• Registration system with a final report of tested products.
• Shuttle from Fiera Bolzano to Carezza (parking at the base of the Hubertus cable car) and return. Continuous service between 7:30 am and 3:00 pm – detailed schedule is published at point 4. 
• Skipass: 1 free skipass per 1 person per retail store. Registration for each retail store is limited to 2 people. The second person can purchase the skipass at the discounted price of €19.
• Affiliated meal at a price of €15 for registered companies and visitors, to be used at the restaurant Antermont in Carezza or at the fair.
• There will be a heated area in the middle of the village for everyone, which will include a refreshment area and a boot-changing area for those who may need it.
• Welcome kit with many surprises from Prowinter's partners.

The parking for visitors and the shuttle drop-off point are located in Carezza, at the base of the Paolina chairlift and the "Hubertus" cable car. Parking is free and ensures a large availability of spaces. From there, you can go to the check-in counter at the ticket office Paolina and pick up everything you need to take the cable car, access the Village, and enjoy a day of testing in the snow.

In an environmentally friendly perspective, we recommend reaching the Test Village using the shuttles that will connect the fair with Carezza at the following times (until seats are filled):

The village is located at the base of the Prà di Tori slope, near the upper station of the "Hubertus" cable car, and offers three options for testing:

• The "Direttissima", classified as a "black" slope, features two changes in gradient, adequate width, and a length of approximately 1,100 meters.
• The "Semi Diretta" variant, 1,200 meters long, avoids the first part of the slope (on the right, descending) and offers a moderate gradient. 
• The "Latemarwiesen" variant (on the left, descending) is classified as a "red" slope and winds through the forest for about 1,700 meters.

 Additional important information:

• All three variants have a vertical drop of 294 meters.
• There will also be an ascent route on the slope side to test ski touring materials 
• The top of the slope is easily accessible via a modern chairlift, transporting up to 2,000 people per hour. The ascent takes approximately 4 minutes.
• The north-facing exposure ensures the best snow quality throughout the season, and depending on weather conditions, there may be sun throughout the morning.

Plan your Prowinter experience to make the most of both your time at the fair and on the ski slopes for product testing.

If you are looking for accommodation for your stay at Prowinter and prefer a hotel outside the city and within a short distance from the slopes where the tests will take place, you can find your accommodation here. 

Alternatively, if you prefer to visit the fair first to discover the latest products to test on the slopes the second day, you can stay directly in Bolzano (Discover the affiliated hotels at the following link) and reach Carezza the next day using the convenient shuttles that connect the fair with the Test Village.
