The Skiers' Guide to Pinzolo

Lovely different resort nice town plenty of restaurants and bars. Slopes quiet and well groomed. Option to ski over to busier Madonna Di Campillio. Nice tree runs in Pinzolo and well kept especially for March. Lift system a bit antiquated. Needs more restaurants on the mountain for the whole area and they were very busy maybe caught a bank holiday. We stopped in the Bellavista bite bit out of Pinzolo excellent hotel with regular shutttle bus to slopes which was a god send as buses weren’t that available. Enjoyed a lovely week here in full sun all week how lucky we were. Suitable for boarders too.

We spent a week at Hotel Orso Grigio, which serves excellent food, has a family friendly atmosphere and a wellness centre with sauna, hot tub etc. Only downside is ski bus which only does 3 runs in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. It's a long walk to the lift in ski boots and carrying skis. Skiing in Pinzolo itself is fairly limited, but a ouple of runs takes you to the link lift to Madonna which has more variety of pistes. Both resorts have extensive snow making so even though there was little snowfall in the weeks preceding our visit, most pistes were open including the black run down to Pinzolo. There were a few queues at pinchpoints, but no more than 10 minutes and some pistes were uncomfortably crowded, but it was easy to find quieter blues and reds. I would not recommend this area for complete beginners unless with someone familiar with the slopes as some of the blues had short steep sections that could be a bit intimidating, but if you can handle a moderate red, then there is good variety and plenty of long scenic cruises.

It was great time, great slopes great vibe I had wonderful time on slopes. Highly recommended to visit Pinzolo is even better at some times than Madonna Di Campino as less busy

Lovely Ski Resort with plenty of places to explore, lots of places to stop and eat and beautiful scenery

Great for families. Very quiet. I took a group of 56 kids on a school trip. Ski school was average. But very quiet location, not a wild party place and perfect for a school trip full of beginners/intermediates for a week.

Pinzolo ski area is quiet but you can cancel car over to Madonna which is much bigger.

I would return if I could get a good deal but to be honest it’s a bit quiet for what I’d want.

Had a great trip!
So much snow.
Visibility wasn’t great due to snow.
Great food
Miserable and unhelpful staff in rental shop and restaurants occasionally

Pretty small resort but was a 15 minute gondola ride to the neighbouring resort which was much nicer. Great food on the mountain. Ski gear was easy to rent, rental shop just across the road from the gondola up the mountain. Rental shop also does lessons. Lots of hotels in the town. Never got particularly busy on the slopes, but there weren't many options for runs, especially blacks. There is a learner slope which is fairly flat and has a magic carpet back up.

Amazing slopes along with an incredible view great people working there, very organized and different options for different levels of snowboarders and skiers in terms of types or slopes.

As a skier and snowboarder this is a great resort for both. Lots and lots of piste and access to the neighbouring Madonna runs. Great for beginners right through to experts. They are always upgrading the resort and all lifts and gondolas are quick. Super restaurants on the mountain with a wide choice of food and drinks at reasonable prices. The ski instructors were first class and great fun to be with. They taught us more than skiing!!
Overall a great resort that I hope to return to again next year.
