Who will enjoy?
In recent years the infrastructure of the Italian ski resorts has greatly improved and now rivals those in Austria, France and Switzerland. Ski holidays in Italy offer a huge choice for everyone, from beginners to experts.
How many destinations?
The many ski resorts in Italy fall into two distinct regions. The Italian Alps bordering the French and Swiss Alps where many Italian resorts link up with those in France and Switzerland (but remember to take your passport). In the east, the Italian Dolomites border Austria and Switzerland.
The resorts around Turin are particularly good as a result of Italy being chosen to host the 2006 Winter Olympics.
A ski holiday in Italy does not have to be limited to just one resort. Many people prefer a holiday that takes in a larger area, such as the five villages that form the Milky Way or the Super Dolomite region. This will give you access to hundreds of kilometres of lift-linked slopes and some incredible terrain.
Accommodation?
Ski accommodation ranges from standard Alpine chalets to upmarket hotels. If you are taking children on holiday, it's worth bearing in mind that the childcare facilities are not up to the standards of some other countries.
Italy has traditionally been the choice for anyone wanting a value for money holiday with excellent facilities and great entertainment.
