Ella Tregale6 June 2024 Had a spectacular trip with Pete, with beautiful locations, great food and overall a very well-planned-out holiday with great attention to detail, I would highly recommend it! Malachy O'Dolan26 February 2024 What a great ski holiday Nordic Ski Adventures put on for us. We turned up in Milan and Pete took care of the rest of the trip, travel, hotels, ski hire, lift tickets and even some of the evening meals. The two lodges we stayed in were just fabulous. I am so glad you took the time to find them for us. The ski days were catered to our level of expertise while pushing us to work hard and improve our skiing. Pete had a great knowledge of the resorts which made the trip even better. So thanks again Pete and I would not hesitate recommend Nordic Ski Adventures to anybody looking for great downhill skiing holiday. Add in fabulous scenery, all while immersed in the Italian culture and history. Thanks Pete. Malachy Rob He5 February 2024 It was a fantastic ski trip. 1) Dolomites and Monterosa are great locations with high-quality snow and epic scenes; 2) the itinerary was very well arranged and executed; 3) Peter is a very experienced and caring leader and always ready to help. I highly recommend this company, Nordic Ski Adventures, to anyone who wants to have a remarkable ski trip in the Alpes. amanda smith9 February 2023 11 days of exceptional skiing on well groomed trails, in a variety of ski areas including Livigno, Val Mustair (in Switzerland), Dobbiaco and St Cristina, stunning Dolomite scenery and a well organised trip. Peter, from Nordic Ski Adventures, is a great guide with a thorough knowledge of the ski trail networks. He was able to provide advice on the best trails to ski for the varying skiing abilities within the group, the time available, the individuals choice of skis - skate or classic, rest stops along the way (ideal spots for lunch or a hot drink), public bus options for reaching new trails or ski out/bus back options and whether you wanted a big day of skiing or a more restful sight seeing day. I highly recommend Nordic Ski Adventures for a skiing holiday in the Dolomites. Jenny Corser23 January 2023 I cannot recommend Nordic Ski Adventures highly enough! With a busy lifestyle it was a relief to be able to schedule a holiday and leave the logistics to Peter. Once we landed in Italy we didn’t have to worry about transport, finding the best ski trails or restaurants as Peter had this all under control as well as tips about where to eat and shop, leaving us more time to enjoy the magnificent skiing. We took the 12 day itinerary which was an excellent way to sample numerous resorts and terrain. Peter was always on top of the conditions and was flexible enough to offer alternatives if the intended resort didn’t have perfect conditions. With a diverse range of skiers in our group we didn’t always ski together and Peter always made sure that everyone had the information they needed to have a great day. Cross country skiing in Italy was incredible! No day was the same, every day we skied different trails with breathtaking scenery. Just do it - you won’t be disappointed! Bec Bessant16 June 2022 Thanks Pete! A well organised Nordic ski trip with lots of great options and the flexibility to be either full on active or more laid back. Such a fantastic experience ⭐️ ps the accommodations & food where spot on after days on the snow 💚 Sally Gorman16 June 2022 Oh my what a fantastic package! I started researching cross country skiing in Italy and was so overwhelmed by all the potential destinations, logistical complexity, and not to mention the language barrier. Hence I was super excited to find Petes Nordic ski Adventures, where all the guess work has been thoroughly and professionally researched. I have limited time whilst travelling so with everything planned , accommodation, transport, destinations and a lovely balance of dinners decided (with still some space for spontaneity) I am most impressed! Tony Pammer13 June 2022 Brilliant Experience. A holiday of a lifetime, fantastic skiing, well organised Kim Pammer13 June 2022 This was a trip of a lifetime. I have done a lot of my own outdoor adventures and am very much an outdoor girl however going with Nordic Adventures was such a wonderful experience I will be doing many more organised trips. It was so relaxing not having to deal with all the logistics. Pete's knowledge, organisation and experience was fantastic. The skiing was something I've never experienced, scenery breathtaking , accommodation and food so authentic. Can't wait to book again.

The snow, trails, scenery and weather was amazing! Equally enjoyable was the fact that all of the research, planning and booking was done for me! The best ski locations, accommodation options, transport to a variety of locations - it was all provided. Pete, our guide was very knowledgeable about every aspect of our trip and offered lots of helpful advice. The skiing was like nothing I have experienced in Australia, and so it was great to have a whole new learning experience.
