A great little ski resort: Folgaria, Italy
Only 95km or about 90 minutes from Verona Airport, Folgaria is a mid-sized resort in the northern Italy. It also has a wonderful and long ski history, as the first ski lift in Italy was built hear in the 1930s.
Folgaria is proud of its history and culture. You're unlikely to hear English spoken here and in some bars, it won't even be Italian, but Cimbro, the ancient southern Bavarian language brought to these mountains by settlers. It's also reflected in the food culture. Pure local mountain honey is delicious. You can enjoy it when you come to ski. Beyond the bars, restaurants and a few small hotels, the community is also trying to develop mountain biking.
Where to eat?
Chocolate and ice-cream are served at La Baita del Gelato, and they also serve the pizza, made with local cheese (€6.50)
Where to stay?
The modern three-star Hotel Luna Bianca is one of the most popular hotels in Folgaria, with big, clean rooms, and good service. The ski bus stops outside the front door.
Good for Families, beginners and Intermediates.
