Italy Skiing guide

Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga, Abruzzo.

Italy ski facilities and expertise have improved dramatically in the last few years. There are now several high quality, low cost ski resorts in the Italian Alps close enough for a weekend ski break from Milan, Turin or Venice.

Some of the best resorts are:
The Piemonte region, Cervinia, Courmayeur, and La Thuile in Valle d'Aosta, while west of Turin there are Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, and Bardonecchia.
The Dolomites - a mountain range in the north - offer Italy's most scenic landscape, and fashionable ski resorts of Madonna di Campiglio and upmarket Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Other popular areas are Campo Imperatore in Abruzzo, Abetone in Tuscany, the Aspromonte massif in the south, and Mount Etna in Sicily.
