As a most modern ski resort, Madonna di Campiglio is made up of mostly new buildings and has little to offer those seeking diversion other than winter sports, shopping, and nightlife. After an exhausting ski activities however, most of the visitors want just to relax but those with an itch for artwork can visit the Chiesa di San Virgilio in nearby Pinzolo where a 16th-century depiction of The Dance of the Dead creates an interesting façade.

As a purely a skier's destination Madonna di Campiglio can offer non-skiers great night-life, good restaurants, plenty of boutiques and spas. The resort also offers different amusing events such as the Carnevale brimming with fun. It takes place every February with grand balls and costumed revelry. This feast is celebrated throughout northern Italy, most notably in Venice, and Madonna di Campiglio holds its own events related to the event.
