Skiing in Italy

Skiing in Italy: large and diverse ski areas

Northern Italy is bursting with beautiful ski resorts and is the perfect destination for a winter getaway. In the immense Dolomiti Superski ski area, the largest ski area in the world, you can access no fewer than twelve ski resorts with just one ski pass. If you book a holiday package to one of those resorts through Sunweb, your ski pass for the whole area will be included! You will then have access to over 1200 kilometres of slopes and 450 ski lifts. The cherry on top is the breathtaking, mountainous landscape of the Dolomites, a stunning playground for skiers of all skill levels.

Breuil-Cervinia (or Le Breuil) is a smaller ski area, but it has still won the hearts of many travellers. At 2050m altitude, it is one of the highest ski resorts in Europe, leading to excellent snow conditions from December up until April each year. It has hosted events in both the Alpine Ski World Cup and the Snowboard Cross World Cup and features a beautiful cross-country ski trail. Breuil-Cervinia is also a great place to hone your ski mountaineering skills, with stunning views of the Matterhorn. It even hosts the prestigious and historic Mezzalama Trophy competition, the highest ski mountaineering contest. You can also ski in Breuil-Cervinia in summer, thanks to the Plateau Rosa glacier.

Accommodation to suit every trip

A ski holiday to Italy is one hundred percent enjoyment. Whether you are travelling with a group of friends, colleagues, family, solo or with a partner, you will be sure to find the accommodation for you with Sunweb. Looking for somewhere just a stone's throw away from the ski lift, right by the slopes, or in the middle of a bustling village? No problem! What about an all-inclusive hotel with an extensive spa, a swimming pool, and authentic Italian cuisine? Or book a private chalet as a cosy retreat from the snow, with plenty of space to cook and spend quality time with your travel companions. With Sunweb’s wide selection to choose from, finding your dream accommodation in Italy will be a breeze.

Winter activities in Italy

Thanks to its high altitude and many glaciers, snow is guaranteed throughout several ski areas in Italy. That gives you the opportunity to enjoy an array of fun winter activities on top of skiing during your trip. Make unforgettable memories with a day of tobogganing, ice skating, winter hiking, or snowmobiling. Take a quad bike through the snow in Sauze d’Oulx or visit Fenestrelle Fort from the nearby Sestriere. Sestriere is also where part of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games was held, and you can still see today’s world-class athletes racing down its Olympic slopes.

Of course, Italy also has no shortage of delicious food to try. Polenta, pizza, pasta, risotto… the list is endless (and mouthwatering). Don’t forget to fuel up before joining the après-ski fun and dancing until the sun comes up!
