Freeriding in Folgarida; freedom in the snow in Val di Sole
Untouched snow-covered slopes, silence, freedom, uncontaminated nature and a constant personal challenge and test of skill; Freeriding in Val di Sole is a source of truly unique thrills!
In Folgarida, Marilleva and Madonna di Campiglio, this sport is exciting not only for the sense of freedom that comes from an off-piste descent on fresh snow, but also for the endless landscapes that lie on the horizon. From the panoramic high plains of the Dolomites to the candid expanses, to then dive into the magical snow-covered forests of Val di Sole.
