Luxury Ski Holidays in Italy

For those in search of a lively yet sophisticated setting for a winter getaway, with diverse slopes, a wealth of activities and an enviable dining scene, luxury ski holidays in Italy can be just the thing. Offering an alternative to the established resorts in France, Switzerland and Austria, luxury ski holidays in Italy feature upmarket towns and ski centres that boast both a level of exclusivity and an upscale atmosphere, yet retain a certain flair and vibrancy that is found throughout the country.

 

Known as a somewhat cheaper alternative to the French or Swiss Alps, Italy enjoys a reputation as a laid-back and relaxed destination for a ski holiday, and certainly has its fair share of reasonably-priced resorts that appeal to groups and beginners, such as Bormio and Livigno. The country also boasts a number of resorts that cater to a more expensive and upscale market, with luxury ski holidays in Italy offering an altogether more exclusive atmosphere, and attracting a well-heeled clientele. Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites remains the region's most upmarket destination, with a cosmopolitan scene and spectacular scenery, whilst Courmeyer is a popular choice for luxury ski holidays in Italy, offering something for everyone and a charming traditional atmosphere. The purpose-built sunny Sestriere in the Milky Way is also a favourite for a luxury ski holiday in Italy, with its extensive terrain, wide choice of dining options and sophisticated nightlife scene. 

 

Luxury ski holidays in Italy feature a range of accommodation options, from cosy slope-side apartments to grand deluxe hotels offering plenty of convenient facilities. Eating and drinking is a major part of any luxury ski holiday in Italy, with great emphasis placed on the delicious food and wine of the region, and an extensive choice of both bustling trattorias and gourmet establishments serving up the finest of Italian cuisine for guests.
