The Spinale Direttissima best black slope in the world according to Skiresort.info
Not the best in the ski area, not the best in Trentino, Italy or Europe: the best in the world. Awarding this recognition to the Spinale Direttissima was certainly no small name. We are talking about Skiresort.info, an authoritative German portal leader in winter tourism and a point of reference for many ski enthusiasts looking for the most beautiful snow-covered descents. And this portal gave the Direttissima a fabulous score of 5 out of 5 stars: impossible to do better than that. Have you never had the pleasure of testing yourself on the Spinale Direttissima? Let us explain right away how this slope in Madonna di Campiglio managed to win the title of best black slope worldwide!
A pure and adrenaline-fueled black run
Let's start with the numbers: the Spinale Direttissima is 2 kilometers long and features a vertical drop of 570 meters. Steep, adrenaline-filled, unforgettable, it can be described as a black run of days gone by, which differs greatly from common slopes that are dozens of meters wide. Here you have a narrow, winding track with imposing walls and continuous changes of slope: it starts in the middle of the woods, with a more skiable section, before reaching the wall section, which leaves not a moment's respite, and finally the final schuss, which requires both legs and mind. All this takes place on a slope that offers breathtaking panoramas, over the Dolomiti di Brenta of course, but also over the Presanella and Adamello groups, as well as over the center of Madonna di Campiglio. Once at the bottom, after this memorable descent, you are practically in the town center: those who still have legs left are immediately at the departure of the gondola lift, while for those who chose to end the day with this black run, there is plenty of choice for an excellent après-ski in Madonna di Campiglio.
SkiArea Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta Val di Sole Val Rendena: the best in Italy
Not only the recognition for the Direttissima Spinale: in this 2024, for the second consecutive year, came the recognition for the SkiArea Campiglio Dolomiti di Brenta Val di Sole Val Rendena as the best ski resort in Italy and sixth worldwide, gathering a wonderful 4.7 out of 5 stars. Key factors such as snow guarantee, variety of slopes, efficiency of snowmaking systems, and the quality of tracks and ski lifts were evaluated in this regard.
The convenience of staying in the center of Madonna di Campiglio
Skiing in Madonna di Campiglio, therefore, means doing it on the best slopes! All you have to do is book your ski holiday at Hotel Alpina, in the heart of Campiglio and just a few steps from the main ski lifts.
