Andalo is located on the Paganella mountain west of the Adige valley a little north of Trento. The nearest railway station is Mezzocorona on the Munich-Brenner-Verona railway line. Mezzocorona train station is about 15 km north of Trento. 10-15 minutes by train. Fast trains do not stop there. All trains stop in Trento.

There are two railway lines between Trento and Mezzocorona and two railway stations at Mezzocorona. The line FTM (Ferrovia Trento Malè) is NOT the correct one. If you arrive at Trento by train from the North or the South you should board the train to Mezzocorona at the same station where you arrived.

Participants arriving by train at Mezzocorona railway station on Sunday, January 12 can use the Isodarco shuttle service from the station to the hotel. A minibus or a car with an Isodarco sign will be waiting outside the railway station. In case you do not find anyone, call the hotel (Tel. (+39) 0461 585813).

To better coordinate this shuttle transportation please let us know your traveling plans and your arrival time at Mezzocorona as soon as possible.

A similar shuttle service will operate on Sunday the 19th.

The airports closest to Andalo are Bolzano, Verona, Bergamo (BGY, Orio al Serio), Milan (Linate-LIN and Malpensa-MXP), Venice, Bologna, and Rome. From these airports, one must reach Mezzocorona (Trento) by train.

On Sunday, January 12, a complimentary bus for Isodarco participants will leave (Milan) Malpensa airport at 3 p.m. sharp and Linate airport around 4:30 p.m. and arrive at Andalo around 8 p.m. in time for dinner.

Those interested should write to us ASAP to reserve a seat and obtain information on where to meet the bus.

Those arriving at an Italian or European airport not too far from Trento might find it more convenient to reach Mezzocorona (via Trento) by train than use the complimentary bus from Milan airports.

On Sunday, January 19, our complimentary bus will leave Andalo at 6 a.m. and arrive at Malpensa Airport around 10 a.m. and at Linate Airport around 11 a.m., depending on the traffic conditions. This schedule is NOT compatible with most transatlantic flights leaving in the morning.


Participants unable to use the complimentary bus or shuttle must organize their transportation to and from the Hotel Gruppo Brenta.
