With its 58 modern lifts, this ski area is the largest in Trentino. It includes 108 ski slopes for a skiable demesne of no less than 153 kilometers.
The ski area also offers opportunities for snowboarders, thanks to a number of slopes custom-designed for boarders and 4 snowparks equipped with jumps and freestyle snowboarding facilities.
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing: for those seeking contact with nature.
Moving a little further from Folgarida towards Val di Sole, it is also possible to practice cross-country skiing on a variety of tracks and trails that allow you to explore the beauty of the winter landscape.
Similarly, the many hikes that can be taken with snowshoes on your feet also offer tourists the chance to reconnect with nature, enveloped in the tenuous quiet of the snowy forests and far from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes.
Dog sledding, skating and shopping: for those seeking special experiences
In addition to traditional snow sports, Folgarida also offers experiences other than the usual. Those who love ice skating will find, right in front of the hotel, a small ice rink.
While those who want to experience a special thrill can organize a dog sled ride. And after a day of sports, there’s nothing better than enjoying a stroll through the shop windows and clubs of Madonna di Campiglio, for an aperitif or a bit of shopping.
