Italy

Italy is often given the backstage when it comes to skiing, an effect of its successful long term neighbours France, Switzerland and Austria. However, Italy has all the elements of a great destination and perfect skiing holiday, with world class ski resorts, great value ski accommodation and lively après-ski. Italy has been further helped in recent years by the Winter Olympics, which were held in Turin in 2006. The whole region received a huge amount of investment in the destination resorts, making them even more desirable than ever before.

Italy has un-crowded slopes, particularly during the weekdays and a great snow record for reliable runs.

Italy also boasts a ski area with the most runs in Europe, the Dolomites SuperSki area, which includes the resorts of Selva Val Gardena, Corvara, Arabba, Canazei and Val di Fassa.

From the Alps to the Dolomites, skiing in Italy is an experience you will never forget.

RESORTS

The 2 best known ski areas Italy are the Milky Way comprising of Cesana, Claviere, Sansicario, Sauze d’Oulx and Sestriere and offering 400km of piste, and the Dolomiti SuperSki Area which has over 1200 kms of pistes, not interlinked. The resorts include Selva Val Gardena, Val Di Fassa, Folgarida, Madonna di Campiglio, Alta Badia, Arraba, Alleghe and Cortina. The Sella Ronda is part of the Dolimiti SuperSki area.

With a mixture of old and new, Italian ski resorts delight visitors with their traditional customs. Sauze d’Oulx offers views of charming narrow streets and quaint ski accommodation, whilst Passo Tonale provides delicious food in its many pizzerias and trattorias. Italian ski resorts have plenty of bars and discos, so après-ski, particularly at the weekend is lively.

One Response to Italy

  1. hi there, thanks for writing about snow skiing in Italia. In Tuscany we own a reputable ski-resort known as Abetone, where visitors go from December through to April to enjoy the ski slopes once made use of by Italian winter sports superstar, Zeno. Come and see what makes Tuscany a terrific destination to ski, and many thanks for your posting!
