One of the most famous resorts in Italy and indeed one of those well-known names in world skiing, Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo is a fabulous destination welcoming mountain lovers of all tastes and abilities.
Located in a land of water and woods in the Brenta Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and surrounded by the glaciers of Adamello-Presanella, the ski region stretches for over 20 km, and is home to 156 kilometres (97 miles) of interconnected slopes across the three neighbouring ski areas of Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo and Folgarida-Marilleva.
The slopes of the Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta Ski Area are perfectly smoothed each night and connected by fast, modern lifts. There are runs for all abilities along with several snow parks.
But even in winter the mountains here offer more than just skiing. Right next to the excitement of the prepared slopes lie the silent, untouched and all-natural environment of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park. Here you’ll find beautiful alpine lakes, frozen waterfalls to climb or just admire, the sheer cliff walls of Val di Daone, ancient woodlands to explore wearing snowshoes or ski touring. Dog sledding and winter horseback riding are also available and there are trails for cross-country skiing as well as sledging slopes, studded e-bike trails, ice skating on frozen ponds, paragliding above and even a biathlon stadium.
Cuisine
Great food is part of the Madonna di Campiglio experience, both high on the slopes and down in resort. You’ll enjoy warm Alpine hospitality at all level from homely, traditional mountain huts to the sophisticated flavours of Michelin-starred restaurants serving up gourmet dishes, and food that becomes an experience tied to thew soul of the land.
