Ski Holidays in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy
In a sheltered sunny valley in the Brenta Dolomites, the ski area of Madonna di Campiglio extends to include the neighbouring resorts of Folgarida and Marilleva with stunning scenery and challenging black runs. The scenery is awesome and the resort is built in attractive traditional style. The uncrowded slopes of Pinzolo, with stunning views of the Adamello glacier, can be reached by bus in 25 minutes. The resort is abounding with smart boutiques, lively bars, pizzerias and attractive cafés.
Beginners are very well served and the ski school operate a free minibus service to the nursery slopes. Most runs are intermediate but not difficult, the main plan being to ski plenty of miles without too much challenge. There’s great variety, especially including the Folgarida and Marilleva extension, which is about half the system. Advanced skiers will enjoy the long, sweeping blacks from the top of Spinale and Pradalago back to the village.The lift system and pisting are absolutely first class and investment is continuous. Night skiing is available.
