Armon Greenblu Hotel & Wellness, Folgarida

Each day starts with a buffet breakfast where you can pick and mix to build your perfect plate – whether that’s croissants and cold cuts or eggs, bangers and bacon. Evening meals are a self-serve affair as well, so you can fill your boots trying lots of different local dishes.

To the east of Trento there are lots of small ski areas, of which Folgarida is the biggest. Pretty much unknown outside of Italy, Folgarida and lift-linked Costa have over 60km of runs, and like all the other ski areas, mostly cater for beginners and lower intermediates. There is nothing for the better skier apart from any off-piste you happen to find. The lift system is also in need up improvement as most are slow and old. In essence, Folgarida better suits younger families for skiing and off-snow stuff.

The village has some good eateries and generally quiet nightlife based around the resort's bars. For boarders, as with skiers, this is a place to learn and not much else. Folgarida is only 90 minutes from Verona airport, but you might want to hire a car to tour round the local ski areas.
