nearby La Polsa are two purpose built ski resorts lying above the
town of Brentonico, with a typically Italian atmosphere. Small
resorts, offering good skiing for beginners and intermediates, with
a relaxed resort, ensuring an easy, rewarding week for skiing.
When choosing these resorts, doorstep skiing takes on a new
meaning on the slopes of San Valentino, where your students
can literally ski back to the door of your hotel. A total of 4Okm of
pistes offers a wide variety of skiing without being too immense.
The beginners slope is located a mere 50 meters from your
hotel and new state-of-the-art four person chair lifts in both
resorts ease the transition from beginner slope to the next step.
The ski hire shop is adjoined to the hotel, which means overall,
this is an excellent choice for groups who will be skiing for the
very first time or for those who wish to have a hassle free week.
