Ski information
Beginners
There's several gentle blue runs fed by a gentle chairlift and 2 drag lifts at the top of the gondola leading up from Folgarida - all around Monte Spolverino nursery slopes area. Plus, there's a nice blue run through the trees back to resort to practice those new skills on as the week progresses.
Intermediates
With recent investment in the lift system, it's easy to hop over to the prestigious ski area in Madonna di Campiglio, covered on an area pass. If you fancy a high milage finish to the day, don't miss the run down from Orso Bruno - 9km back to Folgarida without any lifts.For those into high mileage, it’s possible to ski all the way from Orso Bruno back to Folgarida town (over 9km) without taking a single lift.
Advanced
There's ample off piste opportunities around the entire area - look out for the off-piste itinerary around the back of Monte Spinale, local guides will be able to organise a trip to this area. For some 2km long, knee trembling blacks, try the steep Nera Folgarida and Nera Marilleva.
Nightlife
The atmosphere is very Italian: relaxed and informal and generally quiet during the week. It is mainly centered around the hotels.
Activities
Night skiing, ice skating, cinema showing Italian films, Nordic walking excursions, snowshoe walking
