Madonna di Campiglio is Trentino's finest ski resort and one of Italy's most elegant winter destinations. The resort sits 1,522 metres above sea level between the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello glacier, offering a combination of spectacular scenery, world-class skiing and sophisticated Italian style.
The resort's history dates back to the late 1800s, when Empress Sissi of Austria chose Madonna di Campiglio as her favourite holiday destination. That imperial connection lives on in the elegant architecture and the high standard of service. The skiing is of international top quality, and the resort regularly hosts World Cup slalom races.
The piste network spans three connected areas: Cinque Laghi, Pradalago and Grostè. Together with Pinzolo and Folgarida-Marilleva, this adds up to 150 kilometres of pistes with a variety to suit all levels. The Brenta Dolomites form a dramatic backdrop, giving the landscape a character quite different from traditional Alpine resorts.
Après-ski in Madonna di Campiglio is elegant rather than wild. Here you can enjoy an Aperol Spritz on a terrace overlooking the mountains, stroll along the exclusive shopping streets, or enjoy a multi-course dinner at one of the many excellent restaurants. An evening walk along Viale Dolomiti di Brenta is a tradition many visitors come to love.

5 tips about Madonna di Campiglio
- Pradalago for families The Pradalago sector has wide, sunny pistes that are ideal for beginners and families. The terrain here is gentler and easier to get your bearings in than in other parts of the ski area.
- Make the most of the whole Skiarea Campiglio The lift pass covers all 150 km of Skiarea Campiglio, so head on to Pinzolo and Folgarida-Marilleva for a change of scene beyond the resort's own 60 km.
- Groste for a challenge and the views Head up to 2,504 metres in the Groste sector for more demanding terrain and a magnificent panorama across the Brenta Dolomites.
- Travel outside the peak weeks Book the weeks either side of the half-term and Christmas holidays for quieter pistes and better prices on accommodation with a lift pass included, while snow cover at altitude is usually still good.
- Elegant après-ski at altitude Round off the day's skiing with an Aperol Spritz on a sunny terrace, then take an evening stroll along Viale Dolomiti di Brenta, a local tradition that feels rather more sophisticated than typical Alpine après-ski.

How to get to Madonna di Campiglio
You arrange your own travel: we sell the stay, not the transport. Here are the three ways people get to Madonna di Campiglio, so you can pick the one that suits you.
By air. The nearest airport is Verona (VRN). Pure flying time from London is around 2 hours, and from there it is 2.5 hours on to Madonna di Campiglio. You can cover the last stretch in one of two ways:
- Private transfer. Kiwitaxi meets you in the arrivals hall and drives straight to your accommodation with no stops. The price is per car, not per person, ski boxes can be booked in advance, and the driver waits even if the flight is late.
- Hire car at the airport. With SmartCarRental you collect the car in the arrivals hall. That gets you to the neighbouring villages on the same lift pass, lets you shop at valley prices rather than resort prices, and frees you from transfer timetables. Winter tyres are standard at Alpine desks.
By car. Many drive. Taking the Eurotunnel from Folkestone and arriving at Calais, it's roughly 1,206 km to Madonna di Campiglio, around 14.1 hours of pure driving time through France. Remember that studded tyres are banned in France and Germany.
