Enjoying a peaceful position just a short walk from the centre of Madonna Di Campiglio, the Hotel Cristal Palace is an excellent choice for keen skiers and snowboarders. The hotel has a lovely wellness area and cosy bar area, perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. 

Great location

Set slightly back from the centre of Madonna Di Campiglio, you can enjoy a peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle of the resort. The Pradalago cable car is just 200 metres away and the hotel offers a shuttle service to and from the lifts, so getting onto the Dolomites Ski Area couldn't be easier.

Panoramic mountain views

The hotel has a warm and inviting ambience to it, with a traditional alpine style throughout the restaurant, lounge and bedrooms. You can enjoy the panoramic mountain views of the Dolomites from many of the bedrooms and dine in style in the cosy restaurant with large windows overlooking the mountains. 

Wellness and relaxation

There is nowhere better to relax after a day of skiing or snowboarding than the hotel's wellness area. Take a dip in the heated swimming pool and enjoy a relaxing swim before heading over to the sauna or steam room for a moment of peace. Afterwards you can have a revitalising shower before unwinding on the loungers.

The Cristal Energy Spa offers a complete range of treatments and massages (payable locally), and there is a fitness room with a range of equipment.

Skiing and snowboarding in Madonna Di Campiglio

The extensive ski area seamlessly connects Madonna di Campiglio with nearby Marilleva and Folgarida, offering 155km of predominantly tree-lined pistes. The resort takes great pride in piste preparation, ensuring optimal skiing conditions.

With the ski area enveloping the main town centre, accessing the mountains is effortless, thanks to the choice of four lifts. As you traverse the slopes, you'll find yourself chasing the sun and the finest snow around the mountain.

For Winter 2024/25 Pinzolo has upgraded the Pra Rodont lift to a new 10 person Gondola. For those brave enough, you can ride in a glass-floored gondola for a fully immersive experience. The redesign uses sustainable construction and has given the area an entirely new look, with new underground lift stations and a gourmet mountain hut with panoramic views of the surrounding Brenta Dolomites.

Pinzolo

Located just 20 minutes outside of Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo offers a more laid-back, local atmosphere. Rest assured that you have access to the same expansive ski area by taking the gondola from the village into the mountains. Pinzolo boasts its own hidden gem of a ski area before seamlessly connecting to the wider region, making it perfect for those seeking quieter pistes at the beginning or end of the day. The final run back down into the village is a leisurely blue slope, but if you've had your fill of skiing, why not stop for a drink at the top of the gondola station before taking the easy way back down the mountain.

The slower pace of life in Pinzolo adds to its unique village charm, complemented by the stunning views of the surrounding mountains that will leave you captivated.
