Discover the quaint & picturesque ski resort of Foppolo

The picturesque small town of Foppolo is nestled in the Italian Bergamo Alps and as a purpose-built resort, has direct access to the best of the local slopes. Just 67km north of Bergamo and 2 hours from Milan it's easily accessible whether by air or coach.

For groups looking for a smaller, more intimate resort, Foppolo offers great value for money and is worth serious consideration. We recommend the family-run Cristallo hotel for our school groups, located in in the heart of Foppolo resort, close to a modern chair lift, it is close to the new chair lift and you can ski down to the hotel door.

With a compact ski area with 70km at your disposal, nearly half of which are suitable for beginners, there is more than enough for a school group.
