Ski at one of the top ski parks
Madonna di Campiglio is part of the Skirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta ski park. Inside the park, a single ski pass allows you to ski on 380 km of slopes and reach 8 resorts, thanks to 150 ski lifts.
Ski at Trentino’s largest ski area

Do stunts at one of Europe’s best snowparks

Cross-country skiing in the woods
If you enjoy Nordic skiing, you’ll love the Campo Carlo Magno cross-country skiing centre in Madonna di Campiglio: 22 km of slopes immersed in the woods with a view of the Brenta Dolomites. The centre also has stretches of easy slopes and a ski school.
Ready, set, sledges away
From Monte Spinale, you can hurtle across the snowy fields of Malga Fevri along Trentino’s longest sledging slope. The final part of the descent is close to the ski lift, so you can make your way back to the start by cable car.
Stroll through the Adamello Brenta Nature Park
In the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, a UNESCO Global Geopark and Trentino’s vastest protected area, you’ll find an unspoilt, silent environment. In winter, the accessibility of trails is limited. We recommend letting the Park experts guide you.
Visit the most impressive balcony onto the Brenta Dolomites
Strap on your snowshoes and set out from the town of Madonna di Campiglio, taking a path through the woods to reach one of the most panoramic points in the zone, Malga Ritorto, which overlooks the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello glacier.
Relax at the Caderzone Terme spa
In the village of Caderzone Terme, just a few kilometres from Madonna di Campiglio, you can relax with massages, saunas, treatments, and meditation and breathing exercises surrounded by the Adamello Brenta Nature Park.
Visit the town centre

Monuments and museums include the Sasso di Sissi, the ancient Chiesa di Santa Maria, the Guide Alpine Monument and Salone Hofer.
