Hotel Renzi
Folgarida - Folgarida-Marilleva
The Setting
Folgarida is a quiet, small resort with all the purpose-built convenience that you could wish for, the resort is attractive as it’s been carefully designed to be in keeping with its traditional village roots - a great destination for school groups looking for an excellent range of ski slopes amongst breathtaking scenery. We think the Folgarida - Marilleva - Madonna di Campiglio - Pinzolo ski circuit is one of the best in Europe.
The Skiing
The "Folgarida-Marilleva" lift pass is valid for 63 kilometres of piste between 1,300 and 2,180 metres above sea level and is almost perfect for beginner skiers - nothing is perfect but this place is very close! There is a small beginner zone on the outskirts of town and another up the gondola at Malghet Aut. Above this there is great progression on to longer blues and reds around Monte Spolverino.
In addition to predominantly easy and intermediate descents of Folgarida and Marilleva a direct connection to the famous Madonna di Campiglio for those who have skied before adds an additional 58 km of skiable terrain, Madonna Di Campiglio is one of the largest ski resorts in the Italian Alps, making it a premier destination for winter sports enthusiasts.
The Accommodation
The Hotel Renzi is a sensibly priced traditional 3 star hotel noted for its good food 100m from the ski lift - perfectly summarised by Avril:
"This is our second year doing a ski week in this hotel with a big group (18 - 20). Lovely
hotel, fairly priced, really good food (especially the dinners). The location of the hotel is
perfect, right beside the ski rental shop and walkable distance to the cable car.
Everyone is more than happy to go back again next year."
