About the area

Folgaria offers about 46 km of pistes in the Dolomites, and the balance tells the story: 25 km blue and 18 km red, with only 2 km of black terrain, some 4% of the area. That makes it a good fit for beginners and families — 55% of the runs are green or blue (26 km), nine magic carpets handle first steps, and 17 short easy runs start next to a lift base. Experts will find it thin: the longest vertical on a single run is 379 m.

The ski area runs from 1,182 m to 1,811 m, so the terrain is mid-altitude rather than high. There are 32 lifts, including 17 chairlifts, one gondola (useful with small children who cannot manage chairlift loading), three platters and two drag lifts. The longest single descent measures 2,799 m.
