People Watching and shopping are common past times, and the resorts offers sophisticated restaurants as well as raging nightclubs.

Madonna has access to 380km of downhill skiing, with 297 individual pistes, served by 150 ski lifts, and being above 1500 metres above sea level, may of the easier runs allow direct access to the resort (handy in high season where traffic might be heavy). Madonna is also a champion of snow boarding, having investe din facilities since the inception of the winter sport. The Passo Grosté boasts a half pipe built a few seasons ago, as well as a piste for boarder cross.
