Brenta Dolomites (Italy Skiing)

Solo skiing in Italy’s Val di Sole

We will be based in the small village of Folgarida, which is part of the Brenta Dolomites ski circuit, most famous for the Madonna di Campiglio resort. The ski region is known as the Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta or Dolomiti di Brenta and encompasses the ski resorts of Folgarida, Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio, and Pinzolo, totalling 156 kilometres of slopes and reaching an altitude of 2,500 m. The ski region offers a wide variety of runs for all levels of skiers that can be accessed without ever taking your skis off. Folgarida-Marivalla alone has 26 modern ski lifts and 62 km of slopes with illuminated runs for night skiing. Our hotel in Folgarida is only a short walk through the forest from the nearest piste, or for anyone new to skiing a 10 minute walk to the nearest cable car station Belvedere.

Other things to do in Folgarida and Val di Sole:

There is an ice rink nearby for anyone looking for a bit of variety. Folgarida is also well known for its 45 km of cross country tracks. Alternatively, you could also book a guided snow-shoe hike through the forest with views of the surrounding Dolomites. Another great experience is the thermal spa of Pejo, famous for its healing thermal water and spa area. It can be reached by bus or taxi in approx. half an hour. If you like the idea of a horse drawn carriage ride through the winter landscape, this can be organized in nearby Pellizzano. And for anyone who just wants to relax after a day on piste, there is our hotel’s lovely spa with indoor pool and saunas.

The resort Folgarida in Val di Sole in the Brenta Dolomites:

Folgarida is an attractive small village with only 3,000 inhabitants in Val di Sole, and in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites. It is one of the most visited tourist resorts of the Brenta Dolomites region. Thanks to the lift connection between Folgarida, Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio, and Pinzolo, winter sport lovers have access to a huge ski area right until late spring without ever having to take their skis off. 95% of runs have artificial snow systems, and you can ski the whole area with one lift pass. The ski region is part of the Skirama Adamello Brenta, one of the most important ski circuits south of the Alps.

The scenery here is absolutely stunning and can also be enjoyed off piste on winter walks, guided snow shoe hikes, and horse-drawn carriage rides.

It goes without saying that the South-Tyrol Trentino region offers  fantastic cuisine, influenced by their Italian and Austrian heritage. Charming mountain huts and restaurants offer authentic Trentino dishes, influenced by the neighbouring regions Veneto and South Tyrol , as well as new creations of classic dishes reinterpreted with flair.

If you fancy a little après ski before heading to your hotel’s sun terrace for a glass of vino, you can try Bar Mau in the centre of Folgàrida and enjoy the panoramic views. For more lively après ski venues, try Lab or Ober1 in the village of Madonna di Campiglio or Chalet Spinale at bottom of the Monte Spinale station at 2,100 m.
