 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi I am flying to Belgarmo italia on 2nd April with 2 daughters, to ski until 8th April, we ski most stuff blacks etc I have been reading the posts trying to pick up some ideas, and looking for cheap B&B , in Trento/Bolzano ?, would llike to ski in Cortina, if not too far, we have a hire car. can anyone recommend somewhere to stop and also to hire ski's. Dont mind where we stay I saw on recent post that Folgarida is quite cheap but looks quite a trek from there to Cortina? Any advice on where to ski that week, and names of B&B's and hire shops would be much appreciated
Many thanks

Dnh,
Cortina is miles away from here. Even though on the map it's not far, due to only having a bit of motorway in the middle, it will take between 2.5 and 3.5 hours, depending on how you drive on the mountain road sections. Mind you  it may be worth the drive just to clog it over the Passo Sella, which must be one of the most fun roads anywhere, when it's snow free.
Your best bet, if you want to ski in cortina, would be to stay around that area.
Here's a link to the local tourist info who should be able to help

Good luck
EDIT - you could send Admin a PM as he has a good knowledge of that area and may know some hotels or B&B's worth looking at.

Hi
thanks for your reply,it looks as if cortina is a far drive.Is there enough to keep us occupied for4/ 5 days in the area of trento? and is there any resonably priced b&b and ski hire local?we will bring boots but Ryan air is a rip on sports eqipment so will want to hire skis.Maybe I will try a one night stop over in Cortina
thanks

It you're looking for some flexibility then you could try the Holiday Inn in Dimaro.
It's just off (75m) the main road that runs down the Val de Sol. You don't have to book a full week so it would be a good choice.
For ski hire. Come out of the hotel and turn right. About 50m up the road is Rossati Sport and they do some good hire gear, it's run by the brother of a mate mine.
As you're on the main road you can reach most of the resorts in the area. Don't forget to get a full SuperSkiRama Lift Pass (yeah I know, stupid name). This way you can ski each are without getting a new pass for each.
The only problem I can see in getting to Cortina from Dimaro is getting back to the motorway - takes about 45 mins if there's no busses on the road. After this go up the motorway towards Austria and then cut into the Sella area. Takes around 2.5 hours normally. BUT if you get a full area pass for round here there really is loads to do. you can ski from 3,000m downwards and the pass (I think) covers about 400km of pistes - so you don't "have" to go over to sella. Up to you.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
