Pinzolo
Description
Pinzolo sits across the Val Rendena from Madonna di Campiglio, linked to it by the Campiglio Express gondola, but with a distinctly different character - a quieter, more traditional Trentino village with noticeably steeper, more technical skiing than its glamorous neighbour. It's also home to the Danza Macabra, a striking 16th-century "Dance of Death" fresco painted across the facade of the Chiesa di San Vigilio.

Terrain by ability

Intermediate
6pistes
Around 12 km of pistes are groomed intermediate runs, mostly around the mid-mountain sections.
Advanced
8pistes
Pinzolo stands out for its demanding terrain - around 15 km of its pistes are classified difficult, a notably high proportion for a Trentino resort, with steep pitches dropping from Doss del Sabion.
Practical Information

Typically early December to early April, snow conditions permitting
Snow Reliability
Pinzolo's top altitude at Doss del Sabion, around 2,100m, combined with snowmaking on the main runs, gives the resort generally reliable conditions through the season.
