The popular Alpine resort sets out once again all its many skiing and holiday proposals alongside genuine local colour and all just a stone’s throw from the Lombardy capital. In fact it’s a mere two hour drive before you’ll find yourself kitted out and ready to climb aboard the underground express hurtling you – in just a handful of minutes – from Campodolcino to Motta, at the very heart of the Valle Spluga Ski area. And of course it’s all happening in Madesimo, for a long time now considered the reference ski resort “par excellence” for visitors from Milan and Brianza. Here’s all the latest for the season ahead in Valle Spluga winter comes knocking at the door with a whole new range of initiatives.
From Motta, accessible directly on the Sky Express funicular, skiers can enjoy more than 60km of piste ranging from the 3000m of Pizzo Groppera to the 1550m of Madesimo itself. Speedy, modern transport systems serve all corners of the ski area. And all immersed within a captivating natural context, at the very heart of our magnificent Alpine arc. Naturally enough, skiing remains the key attraction and importantly it’s complemented by two recognised ski schools and multiple rental points scattered all over the place. There’s no shortage of fun and opportunities too for ski board enthusiasts both on the piste and also at a well-designed snow-park, also handy for lovers of free-style.
Then of course there’s Freeride, heading off-piste in search of the freshest of snows and guaranteeing a fabulous sense of freedom in specific areas of the vast skiarea dedicated to this exhilarating discipline. But sport is just one of the many elements that make a holiday in Madesimo and Campodolcino special. On the piste themselves there are ample opportunities to make new friends or quite simply to enjoy a quality aperitif in the warmth of one of many mountain refuge at the end of a thrilling day’s sport. As for gastronomy there are a whole host of typical local dishes, augmented by tastings of bresaola and cheeses: these are just some of the vital accompaniments destined to linger long in the winter sports aficionado’s memory. And holidaying in Madesimo is by no means restricted to the winter sports brigade. The valley throws up all manner of opportunities for outings on snow racquet, or simply on foot, heading off on magical trails through silent woodland at the heart of nature or along immaculate slopes at more than 2000m.
