Skiing holidays in ItalySki resorts across the Italian Alps & Dolomites

Featured ski regions in Italy

Italy's mountains have some of the most stunning alpine vistas in Europe and are home to several cosmopolitan and chic ski resorts such as Cortina and Madonna di Campiglio. However, one of the best kept secrets are the villages in the Dolomites. Many are linked by an incredible 1220km of pistes covered by the Dolomiti SuperSki pass that makes this area one of the largest ski carousels in the world. Part of the attraction is the famous 27km Sella Ronda circuit plus the FIS downhill race course in Val Gardena.

Presena Glacier

The Presena Glacier at Passo del Tonale is set amongst spectacular peaks between the Brenta Dolomites and the Ortler Group, although transfer times are longer compared to many other glacier areas (130km to Milan Bergamo and 180km to Verona). With 500m of vertical served by only a handful of lifts, it may not be a first choice for some.
