Buongiorno! Check into our hotel, a 5 min walk from the Centrale Station. Meet up with the other guests and myself for a wonderful and authentic dinner at a local ristorante. Dinner is included in the itinerary. A brief about tomorrow, and the trip ahead over dinner.
After breakfast we drive north to the beautiful northern village of Livigno. On route we drop into a small cross country resort for a lunchtime ski and find our ski legs. We spend the next 3 nights in Livigno, skiing the 33 kms of trails right up against the Swiss border.
Today we continue to ski the trails near the village of Livigno and up the valley towards Switzerland.
Another great ski up or down the valley. For those that are keen there is a great ski up towards the pass. The best part is that it’s all downhill back to the hotel.
Your hotel is conveniently located for a sneaky ski out if you are keen and you cannot wait to get out on the white stuff. Alternately soak up the atmosphere of Dobbiaco as you stroll around town.
A ski south towards Lake Landro, and Cortina d’ Ampezzo, with lunch stops along the way at several ristorantes.
We have a couple of options today. Perhaps a snow ski at 2000m on the high plateau, of Prato Piazzo.
We drive to Val Gardena today, with options of a ski along the way at Alta Badia or Vallunga.
Many options today, with two options being Vallunga or Monte Pana.
Seiser Alm, a high plateau of 1800m, giving you amazing views and excellent quality of snow and trails.
We transfer across Northern Italy to the beautiful village of Cogne in the Italian Alps. Our hotel is situated just 50m from the village ski tracks. So, either a pleasant walk around this stunning village or a quick ski to burn off some energy.
Lots of options today as we ski towards Valnontey and further into the Gran Paradiso National Park. For those that are feeling fit there is an extra 3 mile loop following the Valnontey River upstream.
A short drive to Saint Barthelemy. An amazing ski into the Italian Alps, were one gets up close to the mountains as we ski towards a magnificent rifugio for lunch at the head of the valley.
A drive up the Aosta Valley towards France, to above the village of Courmayeur. We will be skiing up the beautiful side valley of Val di Ferret.
Time for an early morning ski if you are super keen. Then it’s off to Milan, where I drop you at the Central Railway Station and we say arrivederci. Grazie mille.
