Folgaria in Italy


Resort Guide

The lively and attractive village of Folgaria offers skiers a number of smallish ski areas dotted around the heavily forested surrounding slopes. Despite being a well established resort it is only now becoming known to British skiers who enjoy the friendly Italian atmosphere and the highly picturesque surroundings. La Polsa is situated high above Rovereto in the Altopiano Di Bretonico. The resort has been long established as the perfect resort for school groups with door step skiing, 45 kms of wide pistes, including the steeper slopes of nearby San Valentino. La Polsa has the charm of a small traditional Italian mountain village. The village is actually purpose built (although it doesn't look like it) and has a handful of bars and cafes. There is more skiing than you might imagine on wide open, sunny slopes, with little tree cover.
