A fantastic experience
Folgàrida-Marilléva is a linked Italian ski area in Val di Sole, known for its mix of gentle blue runs (great for beginners/intermediates) and challenging reds/blacks, connecting seamlessly with Madonna di Campiglio (extension pass) for a huge 150km Ski Rama Dolomiti network, featuring modern lifts, ski-in/ski-out options and scenic Brenta Dolomites views, With an excellent natural snow record on the north and east facing slopes plus a state of the art snow making system, snow cover is guaranteed.
The Ski Area
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.
The ski area 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.
Perfect for beginners…
The local slopes around Folgarida are ideal for beginners and from the base at the top of the gondola at Malghet Aut there is great progression on to longer blues around Monte Spolverino. Intermediates will love the well-groomed and snowsure (the snowmaking system is very impressive) slopes that link Folgarida to Marilleva via Monte Vigo. The numerous runs in the Val Panciana area up to the Doss della Pessa peak plus the new runs from the Ometto 6 person chair will keep everyone entertained whilst those wishing a challenge can take on the Nera Folgarida, Skiweg Orti, or Nera Marilleva black runs.
… and for Advanced skiers
For those seeking adventure further afield then an extension pass is available to the linked Madonna di Campiglio & Pinzolo ski areas. 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. On the slopes of Madonna di Campiglio 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…
