School ski trips to Folgaria
Situated on a sunny plateau above the Trentino valley, Folgaria is a well-established resort and an ideal location for school groups. With its authentic Italian ambience, Folgaria offers your group a fantastic ski experience, enriched with local culture. This resort shares its ski area with several smaller villages offering extensive terrain for mixed abilities. Snow quality is excellent too, with the resort boasting great snowmaking, top-notch piste grooming, and tree-lined runs.
Features
Novice skiers can get stuck in straight away thanks to Folgaria’s nursery slopes, where they’ll learn to control their speed and make their first turns before taking their new-found skills higher up the mountain. Improvers and intermediates are also looked after well, with beautiful tree-lined blues and long reds which flow through the Ortesino, Fondo Grande and Costa ski areas.
Encouraged by enthusiastic instructors, confident skiers have plenty of pistes to play with, as well as the option of connecting with the neighbouring ski areas of Francolini, Fondo Piccolo and Serrada.
