South Tyrol

The region of South Tyrol is located on the sunny side of the Alpes and gets its snow from the Genoa-low. Here winter sports fans will find much sun, good food and depending on preference everything from smaller ski stations with groomed pistes to the incredible Dolomiti Superski area.

Trentino

West of the Adige and easily accessible from the Brenner motorway in the Brenta and Presanella areas lie some well-known winter sports regions.

The Aosta Valley (German: Aostatal) is located near the borders of Italy to Switzerland and to France. The like-named town of Aosta has a middle-sized population of approx. 35,000 residents.

Veneto

The Veneto region stretches from the Adriatic coast, through the Venetian pre-Alps to the Dolomites. The province Belluno has the largest number of ski areas with first-class slopes, like for example Cortina d'Ampezzo, which has several mountains that are at least 3,000 m high. The famous peak Marmolada is located here too, which has one of the longest pistes in Europe, at 12 km length! Numerous winter sports and free-ride areas ensure pure action.
