Foppolo and Carona sit at the head of the Val Brembana, sharing one skipass as part of Brembo Ski, which also covers the nearby San Simone area. It's a practical, unpretentious resort rather than a big Alpine name, popular for its accessibility from Bergamo and Milan and its lower prices.
There is some gentle terrain suited to beginners and families, though the resort is dominated by intermediate pistes.
