Estâncias de esqui em Italy
Italy is the value and food pick of the Alps. The Dolomites deliver the most striking scenery in Europe along with the Sellaronda circuit and the Dolomiti Superski pass, one ticket covering twelve valleys and around 1,200 km of piste. Grooming is meticulous, mountain restaurants are genuinely good, and lift passes cost less than in France or Switzerland. Snow can be thinner on the sunny southern side, but Italian snowmaking is the most comprehensive in the Alps.
