Italy Guide
Italy info & Overview
Italy offers an exceptional skiing experience, combining breathtaking Alpine scenery, charming mountain villages, and world-famous cuisine. Positioned in the heart of the Alps and Dolomites, Italy provides a warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent value for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Italy’s ski areas are as diverse as they are impressive. The Dolomiti Superski region, one of the world’s largest interconnected ski networks, offers over 1,200 km of pistes spanning iconic resorts such as Cortina d’Ampezzo, Val Gardena, and Alta Badia. In the western Alps, Cervinia, connected to Zermatt in Switzerland, provides extensive high-altitude skiing with spectacular views of the Matterhorn. Meanwhile, resorts like Sestriere and Sauze d’Oulx in the Milky Way (Via Lattea) ski area are popular favourites for families, groups, and intermediate skiers.
To the north near the Swiss border, Livigno adds another standout option with its high-altitude slopes, reliable snow, lively après-ski, and its own duty-free status—making it especially appealing for both skiing and shopping.
