Where is Lodge Alp Bach Madarao?
Alp Bach Madarao is conveniently located just across the road from the slopes of the
Madarao Ski Resort so it’s almost ski-in ski-out. Walk across the road and you can ski down a beginner run to the lifts, and ski back to the lodge (so long as you have wax on your skis or board).
It is situated in the lower part of the village, about 1km from the main part of the resort. If you want to go out for dinner you can walk up to the bars and restaurants. For some places, walking up the side of the slope provides a short cut.
Arrival and departure shuttles are provided between the Madarao Kogen bus stop and the lodge, and shuttles can be provided to the ski rental shop.
