The Skiers' Guide to Chiesa Valmalenco

Beautiful mountain - quiet during off peak season. Plenty of easy runs for beginners but a few challenging blacks chucked in for good measure. Food and drink options are amazing - typical Italian hospitality! Love everything about this wonderful place.

Chiesa n Valmalenco is a small Ski resort. The slopes are great, well groomed, family friendly and the restaurants on the pistes are fantastic! Great value for money noting that its only just one two hours drive from any of the Milan airports. Lake Como is an hour away should you want to stop on the way there from the airport or back.

For the first time skiing in another country especially italy i thought it was pretty sick. definitely would go again and check out other resorts around too. Not speaking any other language other than English was what kinda made the experience a little less enjoyable but I cant complain.

I did a day trip on the train from Milan to Chiesa and loved it. The lift ticket, rentals, and transportation were all super affordable. Nobody really speaks english here so it can be tough to communicate if you dont speak Italian. It is a very family oriented resort that offers affordability and value. The top of the mountain offers AMAZING views of the alps and the lines were very minimal for lifts. Dont come here if you only want to ski trees or terrain parks. Come here if you want amazing steep groomers and some challenging moguls. Overall i would definitely come back for a day trip if i am back in Milan.
