Rental car and self-drive options
If you prefer to drive, plan your route around traffic, weather and road conditions. The local tourism authority lists access via the A4 motorway, exiting at Brescia Est and continuing toward Lake Idro and the SS237, or via the A22 and Trentino. The appropriate route depends on conditions and your starting point.
Check the rental vehicle's equipment for the conditions expected on your travel dates. Ask your hotel about parking and vehicle access before setting off, particularly if you are unfamiliar with mountain driving.
Train and bus connections
There is no train service all the way to Madonna di Campiglio. Traveling by public transportation requires a combination of airport connections, rail services and a final road journey.
Trento and Brescia are useful connection points for onward buses or private transfers. Depending on the service, additional changes may be needed, including at Tione di Trento. Check the complete itinerary for your travel date and allow time between connections, as well as for baggage collection after landing.
Some bus and combined services are seasonal. Consult the tourism authority's transportation information and the relevant operator's schedule before buying tickets.
