Italy Lift Ticket Deals

Skiing in Italy

La dolce vita pretty much sums up the skiing and snowboarding scene in Italy. Everything is sweet there, from the stunning scenery, to the ample snowfall, to the excellent terrain and, most importantly, to the sumptuous food and drink. And though it shares the Alps with France, Italy and Austria, Italy won’t prove to be such a strain on the pocketbook as it tends to be in its northern neighbors. Another sweet point: Italy’s resorts are more laid-back and family friendly than its other major Alps rivals. However, if you want extravagance check out Cortina d’Ampezzo, the chicest resort in Italy where fur coats and designer skiwear are de rigueur. For great views of the Dolomites and even better cruiser runs, look no farther than the massive Sella Ronda/Alta Badia complex. For a different view of the Matterhorn, go to Cervinia, which is on the iconic peak’s back, or south, side. For great off-piste skiing and snowboarding, head to the Monterosa Ski complex of Alagna-Champollion-Gressoney, whose backcountry skiing rivals that of Chamonix.
