Larger Ski Resorts Accessible From Bergamo

The larger ski resorts and ski areas such as ‘The dolomites Super Ski’ – Val Gadena & ‘The Alta Badia’ are 3-4hrs drive from Bergamo, depending on weather conditions and
traffic. In the winter, Terravision do run coaches to these resorts but you will need to check that the times correspond with your flight times as the coaches to the larger ski resorts only run on certain days and at certain times.  The price for the service is very cheap and it is only 17 euros for a single one way journey and just 29 euros for a return
journey. I have used the coaches to get to certain ski resorts and I must admit, it was nice to let somebody else do the driving for a change, especially after an early morning flight.
