Ski area Folgaria-Lavarone
The area offers primarily intermediate pistes, but there's something to be found for beginners and pros as well. The Cima Sommo Alto - Costa (Emozioni) is 2.5 km long and the piste crossing the highest altitude difference, 400 m, and is perfect for beginners. The Fondo Grande (Martinella North) is known as the most difficult run and makes for a good thrill on 1.6 km length.
Snowboarders can have a go on one of several snowparks. The Mazinga Park in the area Fondo Piccolo is suitable for beginners and intermediates and the three Easyparks are perfect for newbies.
Around 15 km away, in Bertoldi, access to the ski area Lavarone with approx. 30 km of piste can be found. From here you can take the 3-person chair lift and go up the "Tablat" from where mostly blue but also the red piste "Tablat" take you downhill. Further lifts up to the highest point of the ski area in Lavarone, Virgo Maria at 1,700 m altitude, can be found on the neighbouring mountain Ust and by the pretty mountain lake Malga Laghetto. Here, the 2 km long black piste "Avez del Prinzipe" awaits as one of the most beautiful pistes in the Trentino. It was named after the 300-year-old and 60 m high silver fir, which rises into the sky near the piste. The offspring is welcomed in "Neveland" and in order to recharge the batteries, the rustic wooden huts at the side of the piste invite for a break.
Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy
To ensure safety on the ski slopes in Italy, stricter safety regulations have been in force since 2022. In order to use the ski areas, everyone must have liability insurance that covers damage to third parties. It will also be possible to take out this insurance on site for individual days. Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.Après ski Folgaria
