Padraig from Ski France France
A group of 16 spent 4 days in Folgaria in early March 2015. The resort is well maintained and suitable for beginners. The blues were nice and easy (which suited us). The resort is not for advanced skiers as there are only 2 or 3 black runs. The resort seemed to mainly attract Italians with not many international visitors. We hired a bus from Bergamo airport and the journey was about 2 hours (if you are familiar with the roads). Folgaria village is pretty but requires a shuttle bus to the slopes. There are hotels right on the slopes too. We did not see signs of a "wild" apres-ski scene. All in all, a good experience.

A super little resort with easy access to Madonna Di Campiglio. I went with with Equity Ski and I was well looked after by their reps - thanks Jo. Highly recommended! Would go again.

Visited Folgaria over February half term 2011. About 100km of piste is available on the lift pass, which is electronic and hands free. The area is served almost entirely by chair lifts. Some of the chair lifts are very modern, with automatic safety bars, although there are still a few rickety old chairs too. It is a great little resort, especially for beginners. There are good nursey slopes at Costa and Fonde Grande, and plenty of easy blues to progress to. Some of the reds are also very easy, and would be blue in other resorts. For intermediates and above, the area is still fun, with a few decent reds and one black, although again, the black is on the easy side of its grading. There is a reasonable amount of off psite to be had, when the conditions are good, and lots of tree skiing. The ski school Costa 2000 were very good, with friendly and enthusiastic English speaking instructors. The ski area is spread over a number of linked mountains and passes through a few villages, providing a sense of travel, which even beginners should be able to experience by the end of the week. The mountains are pretty, with winding pistes through the woods and views to more dramatic mountains beyond. There are a decent number of mountain huts to eat in or stop for a bombadino. Folgaria itself is a little village with a cobbled high street and a range of hotels within a short walk or bus ride to the slopes. There is ice skating, swimming, karaoke and a disco available here, and bowling in Laverone.

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.
