The pearl of the Dolomites always prepares to welcome thousands of tourists every winter, but it's during the Christmas season that the peak of visitors occurs. It's not just because of families with children on vacation; everyone aspires to spend the Christmas period in Madonna di Campiglio.
Elegant Atmosphere
The village lights up and comes to life during the evenings of late December. In every sense, just think of the large Christmas tree placed every year in Piazza Brenta Alta. The Christmas lights, the snowy streets and landscapes, make it feel like being in Lapland in Santa's village, but we're always here! The distinct and elegant atmosphere is the characteristic trait of the village during this time.
The illuminated shop windows attract elite tourism from all over the world. We can find signs with the names of famous climbers and rich gastronomic displays that make the evening stroll through the center a pleasant and interesting experience.
Italian Style
"Italians do it better," as the saying goes. And we can't argue with that. Indeed, in Madonna di Campiglio, the tradition of Made in Italy and Italian Style is skillfully carried forward, whether it's local food and wine products, artisanal goods, souvenirs, or sports and casual clothing.
Shopping
Campiglio boasts a large number of exclusive boutiques. The main street, with its illuminated shop windows, offers a wide selection of traditional and trendy items. The most commonly requested and beloved products include traditional artisanal crafts, wooden items, and souvenirs. However, tourists also appreciate the idea of purchasing refined and high-quality clothing. Let's not forget about sports clothing, which in a sports destination like Campiglio, offers tourists a wide range of choices, combining the product's prestigious aesthetics with quality.
Undoubtedly, one of the strengths of local shopping is related to the purchase of local food and wine products.
If you're shopping in Val Rendena, a stop at the gastronomy shops is highly recommended, where you can find typical local products, such as the delicious garlic salami or the Spressa Dop, a typical cheese produced with milk from the prized Rendena breed cows. Among the typical products, you can also find grappas, honey, and jams, many of which are organic and artisanal. Also worth mentioning is the local distilled liquor produced with gentian roots collected at two thousand meters above sea level.
Finally, we cannot overlook the mention of the prized wines of Trentino: a Marzemino or a Teroldego can be found in local product shops throughout the valley.
Christmas' Markets
Last but certainly not least, the traditional Christmas markets invade the city of Campiglio and the surrounding villages. The stalls, exhibition stands, and entertainment activities will provide a spectacular backdrop to Christmas in Campiglio. Piazza Brenta Alta will be filled with typical wooden huts, where you can admire the works of local artisans, such as crafts and elaborations, and indulge in the tastiest gastronomic products of the area.
