Italy

Skiing in Italy was traditionally considered to be the cheap option for those wanting a ski holiday in the Alps. Italy is often overlooked as a ski destination on account of the neighbouring ski countries of France, Switzerland and Austria; however, Italy has all the ingredients for a perfect skiing holiday, with world class ski resorts, great value ski accommodation and lively après-ski.

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

With a mixture of old and new, Italian ski resorts delight visitors with their traditional customs. They also have plenty of bars and discos, so après-ski, particularly at the weekend is lively.

Italy’s ski areas are set amongst some of the most stunning mountain scenery in the world. Many resorts in Italy now boast modern and fast lifts, quiet slopes and minimal queues will maximise your time on the mountain. Throw in the unbeatable Italian passion for fine food and wine and Italy is a winner for everybody.

Italians tend to only ski a weekends leaving the slopes nice a quiet during the week for you to enjoy some quality skiing.
