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.

Jody C2023-03-05Verified Amazing Nth Italy Ski trip with Nordic Ski Adventure I joined a group ski holiday in northern Italy, and loved every minute of it! 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. I would totally recommend this trip, or any other customized trip, to anyone who loves to ski and experience life! Tim P2023-02-27Verified Love to do it again!

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.
