A fantastic experience

The resort’s pedestrianised centre has a great variety of restaurants, cafes & shops and exudes pure Italian charm in a relaxed, refined atmosphere that attracts Italian and international visitors alike. Where else can your group experience fabulous doorstep skiing followed by the excitement of dog sledding? With one of the best snow records in the Dolomites, and state of the art snow making, snow cover is almost guaranteed over the whole 150km ski area and bad weather won’t disrupt your skiing as the tree lined slopes offer plenty of shelter to keep you skiing.

The Ski Area

The Skiarea Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta (Madonna di Campiglio/Folgàrida/Marilléva/Pinzolo) has runs at all levels of difficulty. From long, wide gentle slopes to challenging tree-lined runs, there is something for everyone and is the perfect resort for school groups.

It’s generally acknowledged in the ski world that there are few resorts with such a good selection of long blue and red runs and the modern efficient lift system (with wi-fi hotspots) means more time on snow and less time on lifts as you explore the whole area.

Perfect for beginners…

Beginners will enjoy the easy access to the gentle slopes and the great progression on to longer blue runs radiating down from the Pradalago and Passo Groste peaks. The fabulous tree lined slopes make for an excellent teaching environment and students will soon be chasing onto the long red runs on Cinque Laghi & Monte Spinale areas before testing their ski legs by exploring over towards the Monte Vigo peak. From Monte Vigo skiers start above the tree line and sweep down the wide panoramic slopes into the trees towards Folgarida and Marilleva.

… and for Advanced skiers

To the south the resort of Pinzolo offers slopes to suit all skiers but more advance skiers will be itching to try the Tulot Audi Black run – at 2.6km with up to 70% incline – a true test for all skiers. Adrenaline hunters are well catered for with the highlights being the Canalone Miramonti World Cup Run in Cinque Laghi; the Schumacher Streif from Monte Spinale and the black-diamond Amazzonia from the top of the Pradalago cable car not to be missed!…

Spectaular confidence building runs through the trees that the experienced instructors will use to improve technique before trying out the more testing red runs above the tree line from the Pic del Cubil on the La Massana side and the Pic Negre in Arinsal, all runs offering stunning views across the valley.

Flexible yet compact

The resorts are joined by a 50-person cable car so more advance skiers should be able to ski both areas in the same day and explore the more testing black runs from the Pic Alt de la Capa & Pic Negre.

The Arinsal area offers all levels of slope in a more compact area meaning that you will always be able to see how your pupils are developing and making it perfect for younger groups and party leaders who prefer a close supervision environment.

The largest ski area in the Val di Fiemme
The largest ski area in the Val di Fiemme offering a wide range of slopes across 5 picturesque valleys. A real cultural experience as you head from the mainly Italian speaking Pampeago area and ski over to the mainly German speaking Obereggen resort – it pays to be tri-lingual in this area.
Our groups have run out of superlatives when trying to describe the beauty of the area, the slopes, the ski school and warmth of the people to us so all we can say is come and see at first-hand the resort that has left pupils and staff speechless.

All-Season Skiing

A large network of mainly red and blue runs are spread across 5 valleys from the town of Predazzo into the hub of Pampeago and then across to Obereggen. A very snow sure area offering most of the skiing above 1700m, the Pampeago area offers great conditions all season long.

Most groups start from the Pampeago area with the main beginners slopes and meeting areas just above the car park (or the Sporthotel Pampeago if you are staying there) on the Latemar lift. A large wide snow bowl is a great starting area for beginners with two chairlifts to ensure a quick return. Progression is easy with numerous gentle blue and red runs winding their way across three valleys towards Obereggen, all linked with fast, comfortable chair lifts. A stop in the middle valley at the top of the Absam Maierl 6 person chairlift offers some of the most up-close and breathtaking views of the Dolomites in the area. Groups will ski on tree lined trails and more open motorway style slopes – all immaculately prepared. This superb preparation aids learning as pupils can trust the slopes under their skis and not worry about hitting rogue patches of ice etc. A better learning environment makes for a more confidence-building experience.

Challenges for Every Level of Skier

Progressing skiers will take on the more challenging slopes of Grappa Mountain, Chairway to Heaven and the Race Track (named by our groups – just ask for the full story.) on the Agnello side of the mountain before taking on the testing long black and red runs heading down from the top of the Passo Feudo chairlift to the Refugio Gardone (where the cable car from Predazzo arrives). For the ultimate challenge the Pala di Santa offers a deceptively easy start into a steep black run that will test the most advanced skiers. Overall every level of skier will find more than enough to challenge and push them during their visit and our ski school will ensure that every pupil reaches the best of their potential and has an unforgettable trip.

Accommodation

Hungry? You’re Spoilt for Choice

Food and the Italians go hand in hand and we use at least 5 different mountain restaurants in the resort. Students and staff get offered plenty of variety, from pizza and pasta to burgers and bratwurst all tastes can be catered for. The only problem might be skiing on a very full stomach after lunch.
Amazing views of the Dolomites
Just a short cable car ride from the town of Cavalese and around 10 to 20 minutes from the majority of our hotels in the Val di Fiemme, Cermis offers high, snow-sure, testing skiing and amazing views of the Dolomites and surrounding area.

Snow Guaranteed

Two large snow sure bowls and a long chute run to the valley make up the Cermis area. Cermis has the best snow record in the valley and you are always guaranteed the best conditions and piste preparation here. The first bowl above the Eurotel and gondola top station offers beginners a large wide play area to finish the week before heading down the 4.5km Via del Bosco to the mid-station. Progressing skiers head over into the ‘back bowl’ served by the Prafiori chairlift to explore the long red runs and many off-piste options with their instructor. Those up for the challenge of the Olympia runs may start off with a few runs on the Costabella and Carlo Donei slopes and when ready they can have a go at the first section before the more challenging Olympia 2 (which offers stunning views across the valley) and then the more relaxed red slope of Olympia 3.

Food for Every Taste

For lunch the Rifugio Paion at 2250m is the preferred option. You can enjoy a wide range of fantastic freshly cooked Italian food or go for one of the ever popular burgers or bratwurst from the BBQ on the sun terrace. Lunch in the mountains – a truly magical experience in the Val di Fiemme.

Accommodation

Take on the Olympia

Slightly smaller than the other ski areas in the Val di Fiemme we visit the Cermis area towards the end of your ski tour. By that time the groups will be ready to face the monster Olympia run – all 3 parts and 7.2km of it.

The Bellamonte side is the main starting point for our groups and the wide gentle slopes are accessed by the new fast Castelir gondola cuts the ascent time from 22 minutes down to 8 minutes – getting you on the snow faster than ever. The sweeping blue runs down the mountain offer a superb teaching environment and our professional ski school will ensure that your pupils develop their skills to the best of their ability, with the possibility to spend some time in the snow cross park. Skiers of all levels will love the best ‘home’ run in the valley – at almost 6km long the run from the top of the Campo Laste chairlift down the Zirmes, Le Fassane & Castelir slopes is a cruisers delight and a great leg burner to finish your day.

Challenging Runs and Long Descents

The rolling piste of the La Clune run leads you down to the stunning ‘Trolls Café’ a must see for it’s themed basement restaurant. Take the La Clune lift and head to the Alpe Lusia where you will discover a couple of challenging black runs plus a few testing reds, forming a long descent of almost 4km down to the Moena Gondola. You will also find a few relaxing blue runs plus the fun of another ski cross park.

Accommodation

Vistas and Pizzas

One visit and you too will fall in love with the Beautiful Mountain and discover why so many of our groups put this resort number 1 on their list when they visit the Val di Fiemme. For lunch, no one goes hungry in Bellamonte. The food served at El Zirmo or the Rifugio Bucaneve disappears as fast as it appears, including the enormous cart-wheel pizzas. If you are on the Alpe Luisa side, the Chalet Valbona offers refined dining and the Agri-Bar a more rustic experience that makes it well worth a visit.
Host venue of the World Ski Championships in 2013
Possibly one of Austria’s most underrated ski areas, Schladming lies within the beautiful Dachstein Mountain region – in the southern Austrian province of Styria. Four linked mountains provide the main ski area which includes 160km of piste.
Schladming hosted the World Ski Championships in 2013 and seriously invested heavily in new ski lifts. This investment has been well worth it – queues are kept short and speedy lifts give you more time for the downhills – your bottom will be kept cosy even on the chilliest of days.

Great for Everyone, Perfect for Intermediate Skiers

All abilities are catered for and with a high proportion of runs rated red, Schladming is ideally suited to intermediates. Much of the skiing is in the tree-line, helping visibility, plus there’s some good opportunities for ducking off, in the right conditions, to find a bit of powder to play in. For the more advanced skiers – the challenging downhill used annually for the men’s World Cup night slalom is particularly popular.

Variety is the Spice of Life

High mileage skiing is guaranteed on the wide variety of slopes and with the Dachstein glacier on the same ski pass – skiing is guaranteed. The new connections between Hauser Kaibling, Planai – Hochwurzen and Reiteralm have created one of the best interlinked ski areas in Austria. The range and variety will keep all levels of skier in a rapturous state for the duration of their stay.

Beginners will use the extremely well-ordered, ample nursery areas on the lower slopes on each of the mountains to build confidence before progressing further afield to explore thze full area on a wide range of interconnecting blue and red runs. An intermediates paradise, early intermediates will find the blue runs at Rohrmoos and on Reiteralm particularly pleasing before moving onto some lovely cruising pistes and long runs such as the 4.6km FIS run and the 7.7km Hochwurzen valley run.

For the advanced skier, there are two world-class downhill runs of 5kms each in the Sport Region Schladming area. The Planai itself boasts a couple of very bumpy black runs , including (for the more adventurous) the World Cup downhill, not to be missed, the exhilarating steep final straight is a never to be forgotten experience. Hauser Kaibling hosts rounds of the World Cup Women’s Downhill and the Dachstein Glacier is also available by ski bus (included on the lift-pass) thus guaranteeing snow.

Accommodation

Peaceful, traditional valley, full of typical Austrian character
The Lungau area is a peaceful, traditional valley, full of typical Austrian character and easily accessible by motorway from Salzburg. Situated in the Tauern mountain range, this area has the excellent advantage of catching snowfall from the north and from the south.
The Lungau ski region extends around the charming villages of St Michael, Mauterndorf, Mariapfarr and the main town of Tamsweg, which is the coldest town in Austria.
