Visitor Reviews of Madesimo


john mitchell from United Kingdom writes:

Skied at Madesimo during the first two weeks in February. Fantastic snow. Some runs were closed because of too much snow. Away from weekends, it's millionaire's skiing on empty pistes.
Madesimo is well worth a visit for a few days.
