Folgaria for beginners

Beginners rating -
38
Perfect
If you're new to skiing, Folgaria is practically a beginner's paradise. Spacious nursery slopes are available, especially near the Costa chairlift where ski schools generally kick off. Before you know it, you'll graduate to the roomy, tree-lined pistes higher up.

Folgaria for intermediates

Intermediates rating -
Fun
Perfect
Folgaria is an intermediates' dream with mostly mellow runs. Even the black runs are less intimidating than other resorts. Enjoy cruising through scenic pine valleys and past rustic mountain huts. Want more? A free bus takes you to nearby Lavarone for additional terrain.

Folgaria for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Poor
Perfect
Expert skiers might find Folgaria lacking in challenging terrain. The slopes are generally gentle, but the upside is the opportunity to make fresh tracks through the trees between the pistes on a powdery day.

Folgaria for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Snowboarders, especially beginners, will love the wide, gentle runs. For more experienced riders craving jumps and jibs, the Fondo Piccolo snow park is your go-to.

Folgaria for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
Off-piste opportunities are limited, mostly consisting of tree runs between the marked pistes, particularly when there's a fresh snowfall.

Folgaria for families

Families rating -
Families
Perfect
Folgaria is a hit with families, offering not just beginner-friendly slopes but also a medley of off-slope activities. From fat biking and disc golf to dog sledding, there’s something for every member of the family. The blend of Italian and German culture adds a unique twist, ensuring mealtime is an adventure all its own.

Folgaria apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
The après ski vibe in Folgaria is more on the chill side but offers a decent variety. Bars like La Calkera keep the energy up with outdoor settings and DJs, while John Caffe provides a more laid-back experience. However, things tend to quiet down as the evening progresses, with many people opting for a quieter night back at their hotels.
