As an alpine destination Italy has a lot going for it. It remains generally the cheapest of the four major European alpine countries, the atmosphere is jolly, it has great food and wine and the lift systems are some of the most modern in Europe. Add to that state of the art, top notch piste grooming and snowmaking, and you can see why Italy is increasingly a popular holiday destination. Read more...
Italian resorts vary widely in their character and location. They spread along the full length of the Italian border from Sauze d’Oulx to the Dolomites. Many Italians based in the northern cities ski at the weekends, and it’s very noticeable that many resorts are only busy at these times. It’s a great advantage for those visitors that are there during the week, who can then enjoy the peaceful weekday slopes. This is particularly evident in the chic resorts of Cortina, Madonna and the Courmayeur ski resort.
Most slopes are ideal intermediates, but a lot of the runs seem flatteringly easy, partly due to the immaculate grooming and over generous piste classification. Generally Italians don’t take their skiing too seriously, with a late start, long lunch and early finish being the norm. Mountain restaurants are welcoming, and prices for food and drink are typically reasonable.
