Reviews by Madesimo

Great place to visit, well kept pistes and limited queuing for ski lifts.

Best kept secret!

We love Madesimo. Its compact but there's plenty of variety on the slopes. Resort is laid back with a nice selection of bars, restaurants and shops.

We stayed from 01/01/25 to 06/01/25 - a very busy period for Italian holiday makers. We were really impressed at the number of ski runs open given the lack of snowfall in the previous weeks. Tips: We found it difficult to find somewhere to eat in the evenings as all the hotels and their restaurants were full and there are only a couple of standalone restaurants in the village. Tommy's was excellent food and service. Otherwise try and book restaurants in advance.

If you are lvisiting in peak season make sure you book lunch and dinner in advance, especially if u do not want to drive to some other nearby hamlet and prefer to stay in Madesimo’s small town Centre. If you do not manage to find a place where to eat in the evening you can go up the gondola to Larici self service restaurant. On Friday and Saturday the gondola to take you up the Larici self service is free from 7pm to around 11pm. An other alternative is the food truck next to Madesimo Ski School.

The first two days of our visit were poor, and we should have been advised not to get the ski pass for those days.

We appreciated that the hill didn't have too many people. We liked the quality of the snow and we had a tremendous time. However, the facilities are a little old and we couldn't get to the top of the mountain either.

What we have noticed is that the skiresort is not taking unreasonable prices, not overcharging for drinks, food and beverages, and thats why we will keep coming, its very price friendly. Next year will be the fourth year we are travelling to Madesimo and we will keep coming.

Madesimo is a beautiful village with the ski slopes in the middle of the town. We have enjoyed our time there and will be back again.

Great skiing and friendly staff

We’ve been visiting Madesimo for 20 + years and love the relaxed and friendly environment both on and off the slopes.

Fantastic resort and great skiing

We had a great time in Madesimo. Hotel was lovely and the village has just enough life without being noisy. There was just about enough for 2 days skiing - this will be much improved when the new gondola is installed.

More needs to be done to keep the après-ski alive.

Authentic Italian resort but very quiet - many of the hospitality venues such as restaurants and hotels worryingly closed in the height of the season

We love Madesimo!

We love Madesimo. It's a small friendly resort but enough for us to ski. There are a number of supermarkets, good restaurants and plenty of car parking areas during the week. Regular bus service to Chiavenna opens up a lot more shopping opportunities.

Fantastic resort for a short ski break.

Madesimo is a beautiful town and all the interconnected skiing slopes make for a wonderful experience. I had the misfortune of visiting during a rather warm week when there was snow only on the slopes themselves and it was a bit frozen. But regardless, it was a lot of fun. There are multiple nice restaurants to go to with great pizza and desserts. Walking around the area is lovely on its own. I did find the slopes a bit confusing. Although we received a map, I would have appreciated if there were clearer signs marking which slope is which and how difficult it is at important crossroads where we have to choose a direction. As for tips for tourists, if you are a beginner I absolutely recommend the slope that is right next to this very rental place. Best place to start. And after you feel more confident, you can move to the bigger slope which is also right next to it.

Good ski resort nice selection of restaurant great for family easy slope and good coverage of the domain with ski lift .

amazing destination , amazing view, amazing tracks!
