OUR
SUMMARY
A fantastic choice for schools. Short transfer,
purpose-built convenience, great beginners slopes,
snowboard parks and good après ski activities.
Only
an hour or so after leaving Verona, the road starts
to climb up the vine terracing to the ski station
of La Polsa, perched on a ledge, with ski slopes
above and a wide valley below. Its superb balcony
setting and panoramic views make La Polsa popular
with sightseers as well as skiers.
Although purpose-built, you wouldn't know it, because
La Polsa is a pleasant little resort with everything
built on the human scale. It's a fantastic choice
for schools. Beginners and children are particularly
well catered for on safe, wide, open snowfields.
It's convenient too. There's a beginners drag and
nursery slope right outside our hotel and long,
blue runs back to resort which are perfect for practising
snow ploughs and stem turns.
Intermediates enjoy the red runs at the top and
there's a connection to San Valentino via a long,
single chair. The skiing here is more difficult,
so progression is good for developing intermediates.
We have been pleased to see the lift company investing
significantly over the past few years. New lifts,
a snowboard park, skating rink and high pressure
snow cannons have all been added. The village has
also introduced snow games and other entertainments
for children. |

Hotel
La Polsa (cap 108)
• Fantastic position
• Doorstep skiing
• All rooms with private facilities
 Excellent
hotel with a good position. Very comfortable, Better than
its official rating.
This excellent chalet-style hotel on 3 floors has a first-class
position. The village nursery slopes and ski tows are right
outside and there are marvellous views over the valley. We
have used the Hotel La Polsa for many years with great success
and it always provides a hospitable home from home for our
school parties. Officially a 2 star, it's actually closer
to a 3 star and you will be very happy with the quality. The
pleasant, spotless bedrooms all have private facilities and
balcony. The food is good and there's lots of space for evening
entertainment.
