Resort Reviews
Ski holidays in Marilleva 900 - sitting in the beautiful Val di Sole within the Brenta Dolomites region with The Stelvio National Park to the north and the Adamello Brenta nature Park to the south.
Marilleva-900 is the original resort before Marilleva-1400 was constructed. The two villages are linked by a modern high speed gondla taking just 7 minutes. Via Marilleva-1400, the ski terrain extends to the international and cosmopolitan resorts of Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo which make the whole area ideal for touring.
Après-ski
The après-ski at the base village is relaxed with several local bars and restaurants where you can be guaranteed excellent local cuisine and wine.
A few kms out of town is the Zangola nightclub - one of the best in the Alps and gets very busy.
