WINTER AT HIGH-ALTITUDE

Can’t wait to launch yourself down some of the most celebrated ski slopes in Italy? Do you consider yourself an “ambassador of the snow plow” but still want to get good at this sport? Here are our recommenda­tions for the winter season

-

The Alps are not just a gathering place for expert skiers, but a great place for amateurs who try to do their best in this sport. At the end of the day, it does not matter if you skied the way you had planned, or you spent some “cozy” moments in a mountain hut in front of a lit fireplace sipping hot chocolate. Or, you ventured out on a high-altitude hike. So, for those on track to becoming the next Alberto Tomba - the first Italian Alpine skier to win medals at three Olympic Winter Games - and for those who are simply trying to stay upright, the charm of the mountain is something to be experience­d.

Madonna di Campiglio

Madonna di Campiglio is one of those winter destinatio­ns we’ve heard about since childhood. Italians grew with the “myth” of this place. It’s also the destinatio­n of many VIPS who every winter flock to its ski slopes. Madonna di Campiglio gained its fame in the 70’s and to this day still retains its aura in all seasons but especially in winter. Surrounded by the Brenta Dolomite mountains, the views in this region are to die for. Madonna di Campiglio is a stone’s throw from the extensive Adamello Brenta Nature Reserve. It’s an ideal starting point for many hiking and cross-country skiing trails. Whether you want to experience the thrill of speed on the celebrated slopes, or want to enjoy a quiet excursion admiring the wonderful nature in this area, Madonna di Campiglio is a destinatio­n for everyone.
