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.

Whilst not the largest glacier in Europe, the Schnalstaler provides a good variety of trails for all levels of skier and there is the Nitro snowpark for snowboarders.
Cervinia
Cervinia off the Aosta Valley offers a little terrain for summer skiing on The Plateau Rosa glacier at 3500m. However, the bonus is that it connects to the much larger Paradise Glacier in Zermatt where you can ski at 3800m. with 22kms of pistes, the skiing is suitable for all levels and you will often see the national races teams training.
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.
