Pila Ski Resort Italy
The ‘undiscovered diamond’ of the Aosta Valley, Pila is a fantastic Italian ski resort. With over 70km of piste catering to all difficulty levels, Pila brings about a host of other benefits which you’ll have a hard time not appreciating. The slopes are lavished in ample powder, with acres of off-piste terrain ripe for the riding for the more experienced skiers.
Lift queues are arguably the bane of every seasoned holiday-goer. However, in Pila, they are virtually non-existent (even on the weekend), and the selection of slopeside restaurants there offer excellent value for money; a rare and unexpected treat.
If you’re looking your own little slice of the mountain for the week, Pila is a hidden gem of a ski resort well worth a visit with excellent skiing.
