Ski Madonna di Campiglio
Stunning scenery & beautiful piste!
Madonna di Campiglio is one of Italy’s top resorts and this will only be the second time Spice Escapes has visited. 150km of picture-perfect piste and superb scenery offer wide trails through wooded valley sides and higher up you’ve got open slopes with peaks all around.
The slopes are mostly tree-lined and a delight for intermediate skiers, but there are also some good beginner areas and some steeper terrain on offer for those less or more experienced. For the steepest slopes, try Monte Spinale, with its downhill course! Despite the relatively low altitude, the winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 852m and 2,504m, a vast snowmaking system ensures reliable conditions throughout the winter.

The ski resort extends from the Val Rendena and Pinzolo through the traditional winter sports resort of Madonna di Campiglio to Folgàrida and Marilleva in the Val di Sole. It offers runs at practically all levels of difficulty for skiing and snowboarding from long, wide and easy slopes to challenging, difficult forest runs. Almost all of the slopes in the ski resort are accessed by gondola lifts and chairlifts. As well as skiing and snowboarding, facilities are also available for other winter sports activities, including cross-country skiing, winter hiking, snowshoe hiking, ice skating and more.
The resort itself is lively with lots of good shop and bars, all set in a pretty wooded valley and surrounded by breath-taking Dolomite scenery. Most Italians have swapped skis for an aperitivo by mid-afternoon so you’ll find the slopes may be a little quieter or join the masses and you can enjoy some leisurely après that’s all about aperitifs, nibbles and catching some sun on a terrace.
