Ski & Snowboard in Italy

Val Di Sole is a legendary ski destination situated in the Dolomiti mountains that are part of the Eastern Alps. This valley is very popular for all winter sports while Noce valley is very popular for summer kayaking trips. Mezzana is located just next to the main ski lift. Staying there you will have the easiest access to the slopes and local restaurants and pubs. It is a part of a skiing complex involved in MARILLEVA – FOLGARIDA Ski pass (63km) and is one of the most beautiful resorts of Trentino, at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites (a Unesco World Heritage site) and the Adamello-Presanella and Ortler Alps.

Spend your winter holidays shredding the sunny slopes in the valley, eating pasta and pizza and enjoying Italian wine. Does not matter if it is your first time on the slopes or you have been shredding for years – join our groups of different levels and enjoy daily tips and tricks with your instructor. A highlight of the trip is spending the evenings with your kayaking friends making plans for the next year and rivers you are going to paddle!
