Skiing in Italy
Skiing in Italy is a fine and quite recommendable pursuit. Admittedly the ski resorts here are not as famous as those in Switzerland and Austria, but they have a charm of their own. Skiing in Italy is sure to be a memorable experience.

Skiing in Italy is sometimes like skiing in two different countries. German in prominent in the South Tyrol, and French in the Aosta Valley. Regional dialects and cultures vary along with food and wine. However, a consistent factor is the Italians' innate hospitality and friendliness and their easygoing attitude toward life and the world. These facts make a great combination with a ski holiday mentality.

Italy offers a diverse array of skiing options. There are areas where you can ski off into another country, duty-free skiing zones, year-round skiing and summer-only skiing. This is the time to consider Italy as a great ski destination. The northwest of Italy is among the best choices for ski holidays. Turin is one of the best budget airports. This town hosted the Winter Olympics in 2006. Valle di Susa is located west of Turin, near the Italian-French border. This valley offers a number of lively ski resorts, including Bardonecchia, Sauze d'Oulx and the trendy, modern Sestriere with elevation of 2035 m. Sestriere offers an ice rink, cross-country trails and 20 ski lifts.

Bus transportation is available from Sestriere to Turin. To the north you will find the Aosta Valley, which has a distinct character and identity. Italian is also spoken here. You will be fascinated by the thick pine woods, wooden lodges and historical castles. Majestic mountains like Gran Paradiso, the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa tower over the area. The top-end, glamorous ski resort of Courmayeur is located here. It offers ice skating, ski lifts and cable cars, helicopter skiing, cross-country skiing and tons of downhill runs. Skiing is possible throughout the year. The resort nestles at the foot of the spectacular Mont Blanc.

Another good destination in the region is the spa town of St Vincent. You should visit Pila and Cogne if you have time. The Dolomites are located in northeast Italy. This mountain range offers a myriad of opportunities for winter sports. 12 ski areas connect to form the Dolomiti Superski network. Popular resorts in this region include Madonna di Campiglio and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Notable resorts in the area of Rome include Campo Felice in Gran Sasso. It offers a ski school and 16 lifts. The Sila Massif in Calabria offers 2 downhill runs and 35 km of cross-country trails.
