The slopes
Beginners
The nursery slopes are situated at Campo Carlo Magno where there are three drag lifts (which are not included on the lift pass) and gentle, wide open spaces - ideal for first timers.
Intermediates
This area is a paradise for intermediate skiers. There is one cable car and two gondolas which depart from the centre of the resort, the runs link up well at higher levels and several return right down into the village.
Advanced
There is exciting skiing in amazing scenery. From Monte Spinale the black run Spinale Direttissima goes right down to village level. From Pradalago the long Amazzonia is an enjoyable run through beautiful scenery. Short and steep is the Canalone Miramonti at the end of the 3 Tre World Cup Slalom run and in addition there are further black runs in the Marilleva/Folgarida area.
Snowboarding
Madonna di Campiglio is one of the best snowboarding resorts in the Brenta Dolomites. It has played host to various top ISF competitions. Because of this Madonna has a superb half-pipe and funpark, well worth a blast. If jumping's not your thing check out the Spinale area for powder and trees to cut.
