Set in the Brenta Dolomites, Madonna di Campiglio is something of a hidden gem. Just west of the city Trento, and separate from the Dolomiti Superski areas farther east, it has all of the excitement and glamour you’d expect from Italy’s iconic mountain range resorts.

Glide from high, open slopes into quiet forest runs across 156 kilometres of interconnected pistes linking Madonna di Campiglio with nearby resorts Pinzolo and Folgarida-Marilleva. With beginner pistes great for families to exhilarating advanced ski routes, there are around 50,000 square metres of ski area and 22 kilometres of Nordic trails ready to be explored. When you need a rest, you can swap ski boots for boutiques, mountain dining and a leisurely après-ski in Madonna di Campiglio’s pedestrianised village.

With Scott Dunn, we’ll help design your ideal Madonna di Campiglio ski holiday. Our Italy experts will pair you with the best hotel, secure ski passes, book ski lessons and support you throughout your time in the mountains.
