Apartment 5203 in Residence Albaré, in Marilleva1400, is close to all the amenities we need. The locker room, where our skis are kept is just 2 stories below us (reachable by a lift inside the building), and with heavy ski boots on, the 170m walk (plus 63 stairs) to the first ski lift (Albaré lift) is only 10 min in total. The fact that our apartment is on a corner, contributes to the feeling of spaciousness when you are inside - half-wall sliding windows let in the sun in winter, and fresh mountain air in summer. We also spend our Italian summers in Marilleva 1400, and there are so much to do, for such a good price. Getting the "Guest card" (or also called the "Tourist Card") allows us the use of summer ski lifts and cable cars, visits to museums, castles, forts, canyons, white water rafting, and horse riding - all at very much discounted rates. Downstairs in Albaré Residence are shops (also for groceries), restaurants, playrooms, WiFi rooms, and a laundromat. NB!! PLEASE NOTE that the BED LINEN & TOWELS are NOT INCLUDED in the rates, but you can ask the agent to supply you with sheets, blankets, and towels (extra cost) - OR YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN (we do supply pillows).

We, as a family has been coming to Marilleva 1400 since 1998 when our son was 7 yrs old (he is now 32). We are from the warm sunny South of Africa and love the outdoor active type of holidays. We love the fact that you can ski an entire holiday (we sometimes ski for 10 days on end!!) and never have to do the same slopes over and over again. Every day is different - tea times and lunch times are always spent at a different "refugio". We love the active life, we love the clean crisp air, we love good food and drink - and ALL that we can get at Marilleva. And when we had teenagers, they loved the active party-life at the bottom of the slopes, when finished skiing! And we love our apartment...

With the river Noche raging through the Valley of the Sun (Vale di Sole), the best river rafting in the world is possible. Cyclists can also ride for hours and hours on safe, off-road routes, and even take part in some of the most popular races in the world. For hikers the mountains are your playground and you do not have to walk the same route any day. We are horse-people, so we're happy to also have a high standard horse riding facility close by in the Valley. We love the Easter season the most, since the days are long, the sun shines most of the time and the temperatures are mild. However, the snow is still great at that time of year. We have not seen one slope closed due to not enough snow, or not well-maintained, the entire season!
