Dog sledding, skating and shopping: for those seeking special experiences

In addition to traditional snow sports, Folgarida also offers experiences other than the usual. Those who love ice skating will find, right in front of the hotel, a small ice rink.

While those who want to experience a special thrill can organize a dog sled ride. And after a day of sports, there’s nothing better than enjoying a stroll through the shop windows and clubs of Madonna di Campiglio, for an aperitif or a bit of shopping.
