Andalo is a connoisseur's ski resort and good skiers really rate it. It's better
than the comparatively modest mileage would suggest. The runs have great variety
and the hard working lift company groom them to corduroy perfection. Investment
is continuous with millions of Euros being spent in the next few years and the
uplift is first class; modern, swift and well organised, with high speed chairs
predominating. This season there are 2 new chair lifts and 4 pistes have been
widened. The snowmaking system is one of the best in the Dolomites and now covers
about 95% of the system.
Everyone who skis here, whatever their standard, however much piste they are
used to bashing, comes back with rave reports. Although the piste map covers
only a medium sized area, it really is better than many household-name resorts
costing considerably more and we have no hesitation in recommending it to practically
everyone. There are miles of informally pisted skiing through the trees and
some fabulous off-piste too. Beginners have excellent nursery areas in the village
and also at the mid station where the snow is always good. Intermediates have
plenty of excitement on the long reds and blues which are well worked out with
no flat spots or unpleasant surprises. Advanced have fantastic off-piste and
mogul runs on the high slopes above Fai as well as a brand new black run. There
are long challenging runs across the whole mountain and good skiers won't get
bored in a week. You can buy an extension to Madonna di Campiglio, Tonale and
Folgarida by ski bus.
One of the nicest things about Andalo is the friendly village which has both
character and life. You don't get high prices or blasé service here.
There's an original hamlet with a few rustic old farm buildings and the resort
is just below, closer to the lifts. There are plenty of bars and non-ski activities.
The horse-drawn sleigh rides through the woods are a special delight. All in
all, we recommend it highly.
