Visitor Reviews of Folgaria

We stayed in Lavarone which is a small resort but excellent for those skiing for their first time. There are a few blue runs in which you can improve yourself on until you are ready to face the few red runs at Lavarone. There is a red run at the back which after only 4 days of skiing certainly tests your wits. We stayed in hotel Mirimonte ran by Matteo which is a excellent hotel for the money. The staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic.
Close by to Lavarone is Folgaria which is a massive resort compared to Lavarone. (This is the only place I have skied so cannot compare it to anywhere and takes about a 15 min drive). There are masses of runs to try and for me is more suitable to intermediate and above level skiers. Those who like to push themselves will love this place. I had only skied for 5 days prior to this location and loved every minute of it. You can ski through 3 different areas and there are NO queues. (Even on a Sunday the longest we waited was about 5 mins). Food and drink is all fantastic and the prices are very good too. Snow conditions were ok on arrival but could have been better. You need not worry though as they do a fantastic job with the snow cannons. Then we got a big snowfall and conditions were fantastic. Only downfall for this resort is in Lavarone there is no nightlife at all. However, we did not look into Folgaria on the night. I strongly recommend to give Folgaria a try as it is a lovely place wehre food, people and skiing are brilliant. Anyone else who has been to Folgaria I would like to read your reviews as I say this is the only place I have visited as I took up skiing last year and loved it. I am going somewhere again in 2009 and would like to try somewhere else if anyone has any recommendations.
