Resort Information
The charming resort of Foppolo is located 1500m above sea level at the top of the Brembane Valley and is full of character. San Simone, 8km away, is a smaller, purpose-built complex, where the accommodation offers doorstep skiing. The combination of the two mean that visiting groups are able to experience the best of both worlds. There are plenty of things to do after a long day on the piste with a variety of shops, restaurants and bars. There is even a natural ice skating rink! These resorts are continuously improving access to the mountain with new ski lifts opening every year. School groups will enjoy the safe, friendly atmosphere of the resort.
