VERONA

Just outside the Valerio Catullo airport in Verona you will find a shuttle bus on which it is written AEROPORTO-STAZIONE (Airport-Station). It departs every 20 minutes (from 06.35 till 23.35). It costs about Euro 5.00, which you can pay on the bus, and will take you to the main railway station in Verona. The run lasts about 15 minutes.

In Milan there are 2 airports. Here are the links from both of them to the Central Railway Station:

LINATE AIRPORT
Shuttle bus every 30 minutes (from 06.05 till 23.45). The fare is about Euro 5.00 which you can pay on the bus. The run lasts about 30 minutes.

MALPENSA AIRPORT - Terminal 1
Shuttle bus every 20 minutes (from 05.30 till 00.15). The fare is about Euro 7.50. The run lasts about 50 minutes. The train from Malpensa airport to Milano Central Station leaves about every hour and takes 45-55 minutes. The cost should be about Euro 11.00 in 2012 (www.lenord.it).

The train fare Milan-Trento could vary from Euro 20-40 in 2nd class and Euro 30-50 in 1st class, depending on the type of train (more or less fast, more or less comfortable).

On the arrival Sunday a complimentary bus for Isodarco participants will leave Malpensa airport at 3 p.m. and Linate airport at 4 p.m. and arrive at Andalo around 8 p.m. Those interested should contact our secretariat ASAP to reserve a seat and obtain information on where to meet the bus.

In order to reach Andalo by car, you have to follow the A22 "Autostrada del Brennero" (Brenner Highway).

If you arrive from the North, exit at San Michele all'Adige (approx. 15 km north of Trento).
Pay the highway toll and leave the highway; after a few hundred meters you reach the normal road (STOP). Turn to the right and follow it for three km until the small town of Mezzolombardo. Continue straight, crossing the town; after 1 km, on the left you find a road (SP64, it's the first intersection you find after the town), which takes you first to Fai della Paganella and then to Andalo. It is a 17 km long road, rather narrow and with many turns, crossing beautiful wooded mountain terrain.
Alternatively, continue 3 km beyond Mezzolombardo, and after a tunnel there is an indication for Andalo. This road is less winding than that through Fai della Paganella, but it has nevertheless all the characteristics of a good mountain road. From Mezzolombardo to Andalo the total distance is equivalent, whatever road you take. If there is fresh snow we suggest that you take this second road.
If you come from Fai della Paganella, Hotel Brenta is at the beginning of the village, on the left, bordering the road (indications). It is easy to find since it is located just after the road has started a long, straight downhill slope.
If you come from the second road (going through Spormaggiore and Cavedago villages) cross the village of Andalo until you reach a merry-go-round. At this point, take to the left (in the direction of the departing station of the ski-lifts), and follow the long straight uphill road almost to the top. The hotel is on the right, bordering the road (indications).

If you arrive from the South, exit at Trento Nord and take the very new highway SP235 (in the direction of Mezzolombardo and Cles) which at the end of a 3 km long tunnel takes you directly to SP64 for Fai della Paganella and Andalo.
