Folgarida

Resort Overview

Folgarida ski holidays offer fantastic skiing on one of our favourite circuits and provide an unbeatable experience for absolutely everybody! It's very snow-sure, has an amazing lift system and spectacular scenery. We regard Folgarida's absolutely brilliant circuit as one of the best in Europe!

On The Slopes

Ski in Folgarida and you'll discover three completely different Italian villages. There's Madonna di Campiglio (chic, old world and upmarket), Marilleva (purpose built and convenient), and Folgarida (small, pretty and friendly).

Everything is in place here for great ski holidays. Folgarida has a big combined area, good lifts, terrific scenery, superb hotels and friendly people. First time visitors are astonished by the lift system which has new gondolas flying up in every direction and great snowmaking.

The natural snow is excellent because of the local micro-climate and north and east facing slopes make for perfect ski holidays. Folgarida's lower runs are protected by trees and kept open throughout the season. We have very rarely known this circuit to have poor snow. The runs are maintained with fanatical devotion and, all-in-all, you'd need to go a long way to find a better system.

Novices who decide to learn to ski in Folgarida won�t be disappointed. The ski school is at the mid station, to which there are easy-to-manage gondolas and a wide, gentle gradient fed by a novices' two man chair. Folgarida is famous for its gentle and scenic blue runs enabling keen beginners to get full value from the lift pass.

Intermediates taking advantage of Folgarida ski holidays have a wonderful selection of sheltered tree-runs, moderate bumps and huge mileage. Virtually every route on the system offers a blue or a red option. Advanced skiers enjoy the bumps under the trees, limitless off-piste and the links to other areas.

Folgarida Snowboarding

Folgarida also provides great terrain for snowboarders. Folgarida is great for beginners as there is hardly any drag lifts and plenty of chair lifts. There are lots of long wide red runs which are great for confidence building and the treeline runs add great variety.
