10 day Downhill Italian Ski Holiday
We are offering a downhill alpine ski holiday to the Dolomites and the Italian Alps. You will be skiing amazing terrain at resorts like Val Gardena, Canazei, Arabba, Corvara and Marmolada. This trips covers the breath of Northern Italy, from the Dolomites in the East to Gressoney-Champoluc in the West.Â
Whilst in the Dolomites we have the opportunity to ski the “Sellaronda”. This ski experience takes you around the Massif di Sella. A 3000m dolomite peak that is surrounded by five ski resorts. One lift ticket to access these five resorts. To circle the Massif di Sella on skis is truly a high light of any Italian ski holiday. The last four days of your trip, we head west towards France and ski at Gressoney. Here you will experience French inspired cuisine and hospitality. Our accommodation is on the mountain at 2000 metres, with ski in access in a renovated 550 year old farm house. See the detailed itinerary below for more information.
