Italy Ski Weekends
If you want to try something different with a ski weekend, why not give Italy a shot? Italy has massive diverse ski areas, quieter slopes and untouched Alpine villages; a nice change from the busy queues in France. Just because it’s further away doesn’t mean it takes any longer to get to the resorts either. Flight times are short and the resorts are only one to two hours from the airports, making it a prime weekend skiing spot. Italy is perfect for those looking for a short break filled with breathtaking scenery, incredible cuisine and, of course, action-packed skiing.

Why Choose Italy
Italy has brilliant skiing areas such as the vast Dolomiti Superski, the magnificent Aosta Valley and the beautiful Monterosa. Not only are the slopes much quieter but they are also a lot more scenic than most other ski areas in the Alps. The mountains are also incredibly snowsure, with lots of slopes above 3,000m and world-class snowmaking facilities. Locals are welcoming and the villages have a traditional charm; prices in Italy are also more respectable and you can look forward to paying a much smaller fee with no cost to quality.

Group Weekends
Groups of skiers will be well catered for in Italy. The resorts have a lot to offer with extremely diverse skiing suitable for all abilities and large, quiet areas with plenty of cruising terrain. Many of the resorts are south-facing too, so you can look forward to more sunny, cloudless days during your weekend. Italy is also the best for groups skiing on a budget; eating on-and-off the mountain is extremely affordable and you can also find a lively après and social scene here.
