History
Arnoga sits beside the state road up towards Livigno in the comune of Valdidentro, high in the Alta Valtellina, and its ski lift was the kind of installation that existed purely to serve the hotel it was attached to - a single skilift on south-facing pasture at around 1,900 m, built in 1968. It has stood still since 2000. The Mountain Wilderness survey of 2006-07 recorded the reasons as the lift having reached its age limit combined with low profitability, and names the owner as Francesco Gurini, former proprietor of the Albergo Viola. What remains on the slope is the complete skeleton: the poles and both the departure and arrival stations. The survey is the only source traced for this site, so no later assessment of its condition is available, and course names were never compiled.
