School ski trips to San Valentino
Located just an hour from Verona airport, Polsa-San Valentino is an easily-accessibly ski area of 30 kilometres high in the mountains above Lake Garda. A compact, family-run resort, we love San Valentino for its friendliness, and recommend it as a great place for our school groups to learn to ski. The surrounding mountains and area are truly breathtaking and though it doesn’t have the mileage or gravitas of some of the bigger, well-known ski areas, it offers so much more in terms of quiet runs, shorter lift queues and a warm welcome from all – making our groups feel extra special.

Features
The Brentonico plateau is home to two distinct ski areas La Polsa and San Valentino, all linked together by a speedy modern chairlift. The tree lined runs are long and wide, providing a great backdrop for your group to learn and progress; for the more experienced skiers, there are plenty of red and two black runs to challenge them. The ski area is a firm favourite amongst the locals but remains relatively unknown, so the slopes should remain relatively uncrowded.
