Sunny weather, certain snow conditions, reasonable prices and perfect local cuisine are the main characteristics of winter holiday in the Sunny Valley (Val di Sole). Choose between old village of Folgarida and artificial Marilleva 900 and Marilleva 1400. The last two were founded to serve as ski resorts only. The numbers in the names show the altitude of the spot. The three villages create a ski circus with 50 km of downhill trails and over 60 km of routes for cross-country runners. Rapid development of winter tourism in both Marillevas led to destruction of most of the trees in the nearby. Therefore, slopes of Val di Sole are wide and always full of sunlight.
The locality of Peja is famous rather for its spas than skiing possibilities. However, a small area offering 20 km of trails can be accessed directly from the village. Regular ski-bus service connects Pejo to Marilleva 900 and Folgarida. Tourists staying here can also access the skiing area of Passo Tonale.
Tonale is another artificial tourism spot, without traditional architecture it may seen not interesting, but it definitely has something to offer. Skiing circus at the altitude of 1800 - 3000 meters guarantees good snow conditions during the long season. What is more, the Presena glacier offers skiing trails also in summer - visitors are welcome from early May till end of September.
On balace, Val di Sole is a good offer for those, who prefer intermediate slopes and perfect weather at reasonable price. The localities of Folgarida and the Marillevas seem to be the best place to stay.
