How to get here
Opportunities to get to this cherished corner are many, but they are all not simple: the Val di Sole resorts are largely removed from airports. So, to the airport of Verona - 175 km, to the airport of Innsbruck - 220 km, Milan - 240 km.
Yes, and with the railway transport is not without problems: the nearest railway station Male is 20 km from the valley, Mezzocorona station - 23 km, and Trento station - as much as 73 km. Despite the difficulties of the road, all these names sound magical music for a true skier and make his heart tremble with anticipation of excellent skiing and fun entertainment.

Skating areas
There are three skiing areas in Val di Sole, they are also ski centers: Folgarida (900 m), Marilleva (1400 m) and Pejo (1400 m).
The Peio Valley lies on the southern slopes of the Ortles Range. Peyo is considered a family resort - there are only 11 trails (altitude from 1400 to 2400 m) with a total length of 16 km, most of them light, all the descents are spacious and have quite an interesting relief. Slopes are served by 6 lifts, there are several trails for hiking and snowboarding, a ski school, a skating rink and a thermal pool located at the entrance to Stelvio National Park.
Transport
Anyone can use the ski bus that runs between the resorts of the valley and try out the possibilities of any of the slopes of Val di Sole and nearby, which is what many skiers do. In doing so, you can taste not only the variety of routes in the region, but also the nuances of evening life. This is simplified by the fact that the Ski Pass SuperSkirama Dolomiti Adamello Brenta works on all routes throughout the region and allows you to use not only the routes themselves, but also transport.
Hotels and residences
In the Val di Sole valley you can find hotels for every taste and purse, in any case, they will cordially greet guests and place them comfortably .Many hotels offer solutions to problems with transfer from major airports and railway stations, but this issue should be discussed with the hotel at the booking stage: during high season the influx of holidaymakers is very high, and although buses to airports and railway stations run often enough, the place is better reserved in advance .However, you can turn to the services of a taxi that works around the clock .
Trails of Val di Sole
Skiers of any level will find here 166 km of the most diverse routes, from professional to unpretentious - for beginners. For the convenience of athletes there are 63 lifts of different types. This amount is enough to satisfy the biggest influx of people wishing to take a ride. Not forgotten and fans of cross-country skiing: 53 km of tracks are designed for them. It should be added that two routes are illuminated in the evening.
In extreme cases, if the weather is not generous to snow, the valley is provided with special equipment .Especially I want to note that in this skiing area much attention is paid to children's sports: the children's ski schools of the valley are numerous and have an excellent reputation both among specialists and among the parents of young skiers .Children here are taken to teach ski skills from the age of four, flocks of little men in multi-colored overalls masterfully overcome simple routes in order to eventually join the aces and, possibly, in due course, acquire the reputation of outstanding skiers-athletes .
Skating areas
Most of the trails are for comfortable skiing, they are located on a plateau in the upper area of the main ski area, where you can go up from Marilleva or Folgarida. There are not many trails in Peio, but they are spacious and interesting: a skier with enough experience can spend a whole day here with pleasure.
The "black" track in Folgarida is considered one of the most difficult in the region - the height difference there is 600 meters, and the narrow and steep slope is tightly clamped on both sides.
In the valley, 53 km of cross-country ski runs, and they are located mainly in Peio. In Folharid, there are none, in Marillev - just 7 km. There is a half-pipe and a border-cross circuit in Marillevo. The nearest border-park is in Passo-Tonale.
Entertainment, excursions and attractions Val di Sole
Val di Sole is not only mountain skiing. Several skating rinks, numerous tennis courts, horse riding club, paragliding, fitness studios, spa salons - the list of opportunities for lovers of outdoor activities is great and extremely attractive. It is also worth noting the thermal center in Peio. It is located at the entrance to the national park, is accessible from any resort, and allows you to combine rest with the adoption of procedures based on the application of medicinal properties of local mineral water.
