Not Skiing This Year? You Can Still Take Your Students to Folgarida
Not Skiing This Year? You Can Still Take Your Students to Folgarida
When you think Folgarida, you probably picture snow, slopes and ski lifts. But here’s the thing. The magic doesn’t melt when winter ends.
Come spring, the Dolomites swap snow for wildflowers, and the same peaks become one of Europe’s most inspiring outdoor classrooms.
If you’ve had to skip the ski trip this season, spring in Folgarida could be your perfect Plan B. Fresh air, adventure and learning that sticks.
The mountains don’t stop teaching when the snow melts
This is where Geography comes alive. Glacial valleys, mountain ecosystems and visible climate change, right in front of your students.
PE and Outdoor Ed? Still there — hiking, orienteering and team challenges that build confidence without the ski boots.
And for Wellbeing and Personal Development, you couldn’t ask for a better setting: space to connect, reflect and grow together.
💡 One school we worked with last year turned a cancelled ski trip into a cross-curricular “Mountains in Motion” week — Geography by day, team building by evening, and cultural exploration in between. The result? The same excitement, just a little less frostbite.
Why Folgarida in Spring Works for Schools
You already know the destination — now see it in a new season:
- Curriculum-linked experiences that go beyond sport.
- Shorter planning lead times and easier logistics.
- The same care, safety and support you’d expect from Max Ski and Ottimi.
It’s the same mountains, the same care, just seen through a new lens. One that fits perfectly with the drive to make trips more meaningful, affordable and inclusive.
✨ What students take home
Ask anyone who’s travelled in spring and they’ll tell you: it feels different.
The pace slows. The learning deepens. Students notice more. They come back not just talking about what they did, but what they discovered — about the world, and about themselves
