Ski wax recommendation Tarvisio (Monte Lussari) — Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Tarvisio (Monte Lussari) is located in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Italy) at an altitude of 754 to 1,752 m. With an elevation difference of 998 metres, snow conditions vary strongly between the valley and mountain stations. Choosing the right ski wax depends primarily on snow temperature, snow type and moisture — factors that change markedly with altitude.
Snow conditions in Tarvisio (Monte Lussari)
At the reference altitude of 1,253 m, Tarvisio (Monte Lussari) typically offers often machine-made and compact old snow with higher moisture. At lower altitudes below 1,800 m, machine-made and compact old snow often dominate. Both sit closer to the melting point, which favours warm and universal waxes — the calculation gives the final answer.
Which ski wax for Tarvisio (Monte Lussari)?
Based on the altitude and typical conditions in Tarvisio (Monte Lussari), primarily warm wax products are recommended. From the raceday.ski range of 127 wax products (Swix, Toko, Holmenkol, HWK and Rex), the algorithm selects the optimal wax system of base wax, race wax, optional powder and finish in race mode — a single matching wax in hobby mode.
For the altitudes in Tarvisio (Monte Lussari), warm waxes such as Swix HS8 Red, Toko Performance Hot Wax Yellow, Holmenkol Alpha Mix Yellow or HWK HX Racewax Warm are suitable.

How the wax recommendation works
raceday.ski calculates the wax recommendation for Tarvisio (Monte Lussari) from current Open-Meteo weather data. The algorithm considers:
- Snow temperature — calculated from air temperature, altitude (1,253 m), cloud cover and solar radiation
- Snow type — determined automatically from precipitation data of the last 48 hours (fresh snow, old snow, machine-made, wet snow, slush or wind-packed)
- Moisture — according to the ICSSG classification (dry, moist, wet, very wet, soaked)
- 127 wax products — from 5 leading manufacturers: Swix (Norway), Toko (Switzerland), Holmenkol (Germany), HWK (Austria) and Rex (Finland)
In race mode, the result is a complete wax system with base wax, race wax, optional powder and finish, structure recommendation and brushing protocol — in hobby mode, a single matching wax. Calculated individually for the current conditions in Tarvisio (Monte Lussari).
