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.

Where to stay in Madonna Di Campiglio

We have a great selection of accommodation offerings in and around Madonna Di Campiglio. You can expect excellent Italian hospitality, and the food and wine offerings are second to none. Select one of our hotels with pools and wellness areas if you are looking for a bit of extra relaxation off the slopes.

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.

Bars and restaurants in Madonna Di Campiglio

A refugio is always within easy reach on the slopes, you can embrace the Italian tradition by indulging in a refreshing drink or savoury bite, all while relishing the awe-inspiring views of the Brenta Dolomites.

The resort is host to an extensive collection of shops catering to all your ski essentials, as well as luxury boutique stores. If you're seeking a break from skiing, the resort offers a vibrant atmosphere with a variety of activities to enjoy.

Lace up your skates and glide across the ice rink, or strap on a set of snowshoes to explore the surrounding area along one of the many dedicated walking paths. Alternatively, treat yourself to an afternoon of relaxation and rejuvenation at one of the local spas, providing the perfect opportunity to unwind.

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. The village centre offers a variety of shops and delightful spots to enjoy a bite to eat or drink in the sunshine. A holiday in Pinzolo promises an authentic experience, allowing you to embrace the culture and lifestyle of true Italian living.
