Montecampione: Skiing, Trekking and Mountain Traditions

Montecampione is located in the lower Valle Camonica and appeals to you with a diverse mix of mountain sports, trails and local traditions. In winter, skiing on the slopes of Montecampione takes centre stage; in summer, trekking takes place on the local trails. This means you can choose a holiday apartment in Montecampione to suit different holiday ideas, without reducing the destination to a single season.

Holiday apartment in Montecampione for active winter days

When planning a winter holiday, the location within Montecampione is an important point of reference: the ski lifts start at the residential complexes. The main residential complex is located at an altitude of 1,200 metres and includes a lake. The skiing area has sections for beginners and children, allowing you to take different levels of experience within the family into account when planning.

The Bassinale Fun Park complements the winter sports offering with its own safe toboggan run and a convenient conveyor belt to help you ascend. A ski school is located directly next to the park. The Fun Park also has a gently sloping area suitable for children and complete beginners. This combination provides concrete points of reference when choosing accommodation for a holiday with different interests and abilities.

Away from the slopes, Montecampione also offers two cross-country ski trails with a total length of 8 kilometres as part of its winter activities. Ice skating and swimming in an indoor pool are also among the leisure activities in Montecampione. This allows you to vary your days between snow, exercise and weather-independent activities without having to leave the destination for each one.

Summer trails and the Giro del Campione

In summer, the Giro del Campione offers a special way to explore Montecampione on foot. The circular hiking trail is approximately 25 kilometres long and connects existing trails in the Montecampione area. You can complete the route in a single day or divide it into stages, taking breaks at the mountain huts located along the way. The different trail lengths help you take your preferred daily rhythm into account when choosing your holiday apartment.

Hiking trails start at Rifugio Il Bait in summer. The mountain hut serves regional cuisine on a panoramic terrace, is easily accessible by car and is located directly on the ski slopes. This brings summer hiking trails, regional cuisine and winter skiing together in one place. This may be of interest if you want accommodation to serve as a starting point for changing activities, without implying any specific amenities or a particular location for the accommodation.

Mountain culture, cheese and other activities

At the Giro del Campione, Malga Bassinale is associated with the production and purchase of cheese. The Giornata del viver montano includes demonstrations and competitions related to mountain traditions, including sheep shearing and log sawing. The event also includes markets offering products from short supply chains. In this way, walks and hikes are complemented by regional products and vivid mountain traditions.

For another active change of pace, Montecampione’s Tennis ai Prati sports complex has three tennis courts. Together with skiing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, trekking, ice skating and the indoor pool, this shows Montecampione to be a destination where you can shape your holiday differently depending on the season and your daily plans.
