Italy

Skiing in the Italian Dolomites has something for everyone:


  1. -Enjoy all the luxuries of on-piste skiing, but travel from village to village, valley to valley on skis while your luggage gets transported to the next hotel.

  2. -Step up the adventure with hut to hut touring throughout the Dolomite region or on the Ortler Traverse.

  3. -Combine touring and lifts for incredible ski mountaineering traverses and descents.

  4. -Helicopter ski to the top of the Marmolada, the highest summit in the Dolomites, then ski powder back to the valley for lunch.


The best parts of skiing in the Dolomites are the food and the people. Friendly and welcoming, the local people of the Dolomites believe in living life to the fullest, and they walk the talk! Enjoy delicious, hearty meals prepared with local ingredients in the traditional Ladin style.
