italy ski resorts

Dotting the northern mountains like jewels in a crown, Italy's ski resorts more than make up for their relative paucity with a huge variety of terrain and unbeatable ambience.
Italy's resorts can roughly be split into three geographic regions. On the western side of the country, just beyond Milan and bordering Switzerland, Bormio will feature all your needs of skiing and passing a relaxing ski vacation. Further east, in the rugged Dolomites and accessible from Venice or Treviso, come impressive places like Cortina d'Ampezzo and Val Gardena.
First rate ski resorts we recommend Bormio, Cortina and Val Gardena offer a range of skiing options which is diverse from each ski resort. The skiing season in Italy runs from December to late March. For some of the most dramatic scenery and exciting ski runs try a skiing holiday in the Dolomites or in the medieval ski resort Bormio. At these resorts you can take your pick from downhill, cross-country, and ski mountaineering.
Skiing holidays in Italy have something to offer for every class of skier. The resort you choose may be dependant on your level of skill; if you are a beginner then you may be better heading to the slopes at Bormio. More advanced skiers may prefer the exhilarating slopes of the Dolomites, which boasts the largest ski circuit in the world.
