On a sunny plateau above the Adige valley, Folgaria is a well established
resort and an ideal location for school groups. The centre of the village is
pedestrianised and very attractive with good shopping and plenty of lively
bars. The ski areas in the region are fairly extended offering a good range
for all abilities. Beginners and intermediate skiers are particularly well
catered for with a good selection of blue and red pistes in all the main
areas. Novices will, by the end of their first week, be travelling around
the mountains with added confidence.
Choose this resort for:
An excellent range of slopes for beginners and intermediates.
Attractive picture postcard village setting.
Tree lined runs.
On The Slopes
Folgaria is located in the Trentino Dolomites, on a plateau above the
ancient towns of Rovereto and Trento. The resort combines the ski areas of
numerous smaller villages including Folgaria, Lavarone and Luserna ski
region. It's a bustling venue, with a truly Italian atmosphere.
Folgaria's ski area offers skiing for all levels and locally covers over
20km of piste. Most of the skiing is through tree-lined pistes on
well-maintained slopes, many of which are snow cannon protected.
The newly constructed lifts at Costa provide a perfect link with the
Ortesino and Fondo Grande areas.
Beginner groups will quickly progress from the gentle nursery slopes to some
of the more difficult runs which weave their way through trees around the
resorts of Costa and Folgaria.
Intermediates and advanced skiers are assured of a tremendous choice as the
"Highlands" lift pass covers over 72km of pistes connecting lifts from
Folgaria to neighbouring areas Francolini, Fondo Piccolo and Passo Coe
rising to a height of 2060m.
Skiing at Lavarone and Forte Cherle is possible on the same lift pass and
these resorts are only a short coach ride away.
Off The Slopes
Folgaria and the surrounding villages have many après-ski activities
including ice skating, bowling, swimming, a visit to a local pizzeria or the
cinema.
