Giora’s tip

Andalo-Paganella is my recommendation for Spanish families seeking their first ski experience in the Alps: affordable prices, Verona 1.5h away, easy pistes, 100% snowmaking and incredible views. Ideal for 4-5 nights as an introduction to Italian Alpine skiing.

  • [[madonna-di-campiglio]] — Within Skirama Dolomiti, 45 min away
  • [[val-di-fiemme-obereggen]] — Another family option in Trentino
  • [[bormio]] — More challenging alternative
