Hotel-Based Ski Safari in the Dolomiti di Brenta

Arrive in Andalo (1,040m / 3,412’) in the Dolomiti del Brenta on your own (private transfer available on request) and check into your hotel. Andalo is situated on the Paganella high plateau, and features several winter and summer activities. The village counts some 1,000 inhabitants and is famous for its farms, located between Molveno, Cavedago and Fai della Paganella. In the past years, tourism has become increasingly important and started booming. The local sports centre features a rich number of facilities, ranging from a soccer ground to a mini golf course, a climbing hall and a basketball court, as well as horse riding and volleyball court. In winter the near-by ski lifts of the Paganella skiing area take you to some 50 km of runs and slopes.
Dinner follows at the hotel.

In the morning meet your Local English speaking UIAGM/IFMGA Ski Guide for a trip briefing and equipment check, to rent gear (if needed), and to receive your Dolomiti Superski Skipass.

Today you will discover the ski area of Andalo – Fai della Paganella reaching an altitude of  2,100m / 6,889’). It has always been an attraction for the people of the whole region, visible thanks to its size from the regional capital city of Trento and from the nearby side valleys.
Located on its slopes, Andalo and Fai are small villages that grew to become tourist destinations, especially in the winter, thanks to the significant investments made in the last decades. Paganella is today an ultra-modern skiing area comfortably reached in few minutes via ski lifts from both villages and connected strategically to both Val di Non and Valle dell’Adige. Many slopes allow skiers the best choice to reach Roda (2125 m /  6,971’) – the locality on the mountain top from where you can enjoy fantastic scenery ranging from the Dolomiti di Fassa (including Marmolada) to Lago di Garda.

After breakfast take a private transfer to Folgarida (1,270m / 4,166’) one of the towns in Val di Sole. At Folgarida - Marilleva, there are two valley stations, connected by 26 state-of the-art lift facilities. Moreover the skiing area features 34 ski slopes ranging from an easy level to more challenging, including 62 km of ski runs.
In the afternoon ski down to Madonna di Campiglio (1,550m / 5,085’) and check into your hotel. 
Madonna di Campiglio (1,550m / 5,085') is an elegant town nestled in a breathtaking valley, surrounded by the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park on three of its four sides.

Madonna di Campiglio is a Mecca for skiers and snowboarders. This ski resort is not only very popular with tourists from all over the world, but also with Italians themselves, for example the Italian ski champion Alberto Tomba hails from here.
There are slopes of different levels including very challenging ones: one of these ski runs features a drop of up to 70%! Moreover there is the “3-Tre” FIS ski slope, which every year is venue for a slalom competition of the male ski World Cup.
Madonna di Campiglio is also connected with a 10-minutes express funicular to Pinzolo, a town situated at the foot of Mount Doss del Sabion. The queen of all the slopes in this skiing area is definitely the Tulot Audi quattro® slope with its difference in altitude of 900 m / 2,952’ and its length of 2.600 m / 1,6 miles; a real challenge for skiers.

Today you may wish to explore the area further or take some time to rest, relax, take a stroll into town and enjoy your hotel's facilities.

After breakfast take a private transfer to the town of Ponte di Legno (1,257m / 4,224’) and start another exciting skiing day in the area of Tonale, with 100 kilometres of well prepared slopes. Thanks to the high altitude, Passo Tonale can guarantee a constant and abundant natural snow cover and a fast connection with Ponte di Legno and the Presena Glacier (3,000m / 9,842’) which can be reached within minutes by funicular. From the top station, a demanding slope descends to the Pass and allows a beautiful and long “non-stop” run of nearly 12 km / 7,4 miles to Ponte di Legno. Check into your hotel and enjoy dinner.

Breakfast and departure on your own (private transfer available on request).
