Skiing in Paganella

There are things worth waiting for, but buying your ski pass isn’t one of them.

We use dynamic online pricing here in Paganella: book early, spend less, with discounts up to 25%: best to lock it in right now.

Our free ski buses drop you off right at the gondola stations. They run continuously all day until the lifts close, so you can leave your car parked for the whole holiday.

From December to March, check updated timetables and bus stops on our transport page or the Mio Trentino app.

Unclip your skis and put your normal shoes back on. There's no need to haul your equipment onto the ski bus or carry it to the hotel.

You'll find ski depots right at the bottom of the lifts: heated lockers to lock everything away for the night.

The next morning, you’ll find your boots warm and dry, ready to go.

Every school here has qualified instructors for first-timers, with specialized care for children and skiers with disabilities.

If you're staying at a hotel, check with the front desk first: several hotels work directly with a partner school and offer dedicated services.

Otherwise, choose based on your daily routine. If you don't ski and are just dropping off your kids, the beginner areas down in Andalo village are the easiest option—you can walk there on foot and watch from the fence. If everyone skis, book lessons up on the mountain so you can all ride the lift together first thing in the morning.

If you're visiting during the holidays, book well ahead: spots fill up fast, and last-minute bookings often mean settling for inconvenient lesson times.

here’s no magic number. Classes start at age three, but there's no rush. Until they hit 5 or 6, learning the technique isn't the priority.

At this age, the goal is just having a good time: one more game and one less run down the slope makes a huge difference. If they seem scared or tense, don’t push it. Skipping a year and trying again next winter is usually the best call.

The choice between group or private lessons also depends on your kids. Group settings build confidence and let them learn by copying others. A private lesson works best when they need a quieter environment and one-on-one attention.

Our ski schools have instructors specially trained to work with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities, along with specialized equipment like mono-skis and bi-skis.

This gear is provided free of charge during lessons: just contact the schools directly or email marketing@visitpaganella.it.

We also offer discounted lift tickets.

For everything else—from parking to getting around the villages—you'll find practical details in our accessibility guide.

Go for a walk, lace up your ice skates, or follow the mountain guides into the woods on snowshoes.

Head down to Lake Molveno: in winter, the beach is quiet and empty, with nothing but silence and open space for a long stroll.

And then there’s our favorite option: take the ski lifts straight up to a mountain hut for lunch.
