Italy Ski Vacations Planned Around Your Group and the Snow
Italy is the only country in the Alps where the lunch is a reason to book the trip. The runs are long and scenic, the mountain huts serve food worth sitting down for two hours over, and the day ends with a glass of something local rather than a scramble for the last lift. From the glaciers beneath Mont Blanc to the pale spires of the Dolomites, a custom Italy ski vacation lets you match the terrain to your ability, the pace to your group, and the evenings to your taste. We arrange the lift passes, the private instructors, the transfers, and the well placed accommodations so all you have to do is ski, eat, and relax. Every itinerary is built around you, whether you want challenging off trail adventures, gentle blues for the family, or as much time enjoying a long lunch as actually skiing.
The mountains reward travelers who plan well. Snow conditions, altitude, and the character of each resort vary enormously, and the difference between a good ski trip and a great one is knowing where to be and when. As a custom tour operator that has designed private Italian vacations for more than twenty years, we build your ski trip from your priorities, with private instruction arranged in advance, transfers with those that are familiar with the mountain roads, and time set aside for the food and wine that make the Italian Alps special. You get expert guidance on the ground with the ease of having every detail handled for you.
Which Italy Ski Trip Are You Planning?
Ski trips to Italy are not one product. These are the five we are asked for most often, and which one you are taking decides the ski resort, the altitude and the week before anything else is booked. Find yours below.
Your First Ski Trip to Italy
Best for a first trip to the Italian Alps, whether you are learning or already ski well and have never skied here.
Learning to ski in the Italian Alps spoils you for anywhere else. The runs give you room, the pale rock turns colors at the end of the afternoon that you will still be describing to people months later, and nothing about the day is in a hurry. Beginners get wide nursery slopes and instructors who teach adults with patience and good humor. Skiers who already know what they are doing get terrain that keeps rewarding them for a full week without ever feeling like work.
One practical thing worth knowing before your first day, because it surprises almost every North American skier. Italy uses the European grading, and the colors do not mean what they mean at home. Here blue is the easiest graded run, red is the intermediate one, and black is for experts. A skier used to green, blue and black diamond signs reads an Italian blue as intermediate and assumes the mountain is harder than it is. It is usually the opposite. We tell you which color you actually want on your first morning, and we put beginners on resorts with genuinely long blues rather than short ones, so confidence keeps building instead of stalling halfway down.
Finding the right balance is the whole point of the first trip. Enough challenge that the week means something, enough ease that you are still smiling at four in the afternoon, and a long lunch in the middle of it. That balance is what makes people fall for the Italian Alps and come back for the rest of their skiing lives.
We arrange ski school in advance and in English, and we hold instructors early because the good ones are committed by October. Gear is fitted before you arrive rather than queued for on the first morning, which saves half a day almost every unplanned trip loses. First timers very often add a few days in a city at one end or the other, and Italy makes that easy in a way no other Alpine country does, which is what our iconic Italy vacations are built around.
Skiing With a Mixed Ability Group
Best for a group where one skier wants steep terrain and another wants a long lunch.
Italy is unusually well suited to this, and the reason is scale. Enough Italian ski areas are large enough that a cautious skier and a fast one can each have the day they wanted and still sit down together at the same table at one o’clock. The Dolomiti Superski pass is the best known example: twelve linked ski areas on one ticket and hundreds of miles of piste, with Val Gardena and Alta Badia the two bases we build these weeks around most often.
It is far from the only option, and for some groups it is not the best one. The Vialattea, the Milky Way, spreads out from Sestriere across a huge linked network with the mileage that strong skiers want. Cervinia sits high under the Matterhorn with long, wide runs that suit a cautious skier and a fast one on the same mountain. Bormio pairs serious steep terrain with gentler ground below it. Madesimo gives a smaller, quieter mountain where a mixed group is never far apart. Each of these has enough range on its own to keep a varied group happy for a week without a transfer day.
We route the confident skiers onto the demanding circuits and the rest onto the wide sunny runs, then reserve the mountain hut lunches that fill weeks ahead so the group eats together with a view rather than standing in a self service line. The full range of Italy vacation packages shows how a group week is put together.
Off Piste Skiing for Experienced Skiers
Best for strong skiers who want terrain, guides and altitude rather than a village.
Monte Rosa is the answer most people have never heard. Three quiet valleys, serious vertical, and freeride terrain that compares with anything at Chamonix or Zermatt without the crowds those names carry. Cervinia links over the border to Zermatt itself and sits under the Matterhorn, which Italians call Monte Cervino, and it holds the most reliable snow in Europe because of its altitude.
Bormio adds the Stelvio, one of the hardest downhill courses in the world and a World Cup fixture. We arrange mountain guides and heli drops for the days that warrant them, and we plan around the avalanche bulletin rather than around the itinerary. If the mountains matter more than the skiing, our Italy landscape vacations go further into that country.
Family Ski Trips in Italy
Best for families with children who ski at different speeds, and for three generations traveling together.
Almost every Italian ski resort is set up for families, and it is one of the things that most surprises families arriving from North America. Children are genuinely welcome on the mountain and in the dining room rather than tolerated, and the ski schools are used to teaching them.
Selva Val Gardena and the Sella Ronda are the classic family choice, with ski kindergarten, gentle terrain close to the lodging and a circuit the stronger members of the family can go and ski while the younger ones stay local. Alpe Cimbra and Madonna di Campiglio are the two we send first time ski families to most often. Beyond them, Madesimo is small enough that nobody gets lost, Bormio combines easy ground with the thermal baths for the afternoon, Livigno is high and snow sure with a long gentle valley floor, and Sestriere has the space and the lift capacity that a big family group needs. Every one of these has something for children off the slopes as well as on them.
We book ski school for the children and instructors for the adults on the same clock so nobody is waiting, choose lodging you can walk to the lift from in ski boots, and build in the afternoons that a family week falls apart without. We plan the same way on an Italian family vacation in any season.
Ski Trips That Include an Italian City
Best for a couple or group where not everyone skis, and for travelers who want a town to come back to at the end of the day.
Italy is the one country in the Alps where you can ski all morning and be somewhere with real restaurants, museums and a proper aperitivo by the evening. It is not a compromise on the skiing. It is an extra reason to come.
Bolzano puts the Dolomites within reach and gives you an arcaded old town and the Iceman museum for the days off. Trento adds the Trentodoc sparkling wine cellars and a princely castle. Turin puts the Milky Way and Sestriere within reach of the Egyptian Museum, one of the finest collections of its kind anywhere. Aosta is the one most visitors miss entirely: a Roman town with its arch, theater and gate still standing, sitting at the foot of the highest mountains in the Alps, so a Courmayeur or Cervinia week can end in a city that was founded before the birth of Christ. Bormio pairs its skiing with thermal springs the Romans were already using two thousand years ago, which is a rather good way to end a hard day on the Stelvio. Cortina d Ampezzo and Bardonecchia work the same way on a smaller scale.
We build the non skiing days properly rather than leaving them to chance, which is what separates this from a ski trip with a bored passenger in it. Couples traveling without children usually start from our romantic Italy vacations instead.
Planning an Italy Ski Vacation: The Numbers That Decide the Trip
Before we talk about resorts we talk about time, and the answers below are the ones that shape almost every ski itinerary we build. They come from the trips we have actually run rather than from a brochure.
7 to 10 Nights for a Full Ski Week
A ski week works best at seven to ten nights in one valley. You lose the first morning to fittings and lift passes and the last one to departure, so ten nights is what buys you eight real days on snow.
2 Ski Areas Is the Sensible Ceiling
Groups who try to sample four resorts spend the week in a vehicle. Two areas, or one linked network like the Dolomiti Superski, gives variety without the transfer days that ruin the rhythm.
1,500 to 3,500 Meters of Working Altitude
The Italian resorts we plan around sit high enough to hold snow into spring. Altitude is the single best predictor of conditions in a warm season, and it is the first thing we check against your dates.
3 Hours From Milan to Most Bases
Almost every ski base we use is inside a three hour transfer from Milan or Turin, which is why we route arrivals through those airports and time the drive to miss the weekend valley traffic.
6 to 9 Months of Planning Time
English speaking instructors in the well known resorts are committed by October for the season. Six months is workable, nine is comfortable, and Christmas and February half term need more.
1 Day Is Enough for Mount Etna
Etna is a day, not a week. Skiers are on the volcano in the morning and on the coast by afternoon, which is why we attach it to a Sicily itinerary rather than building a ski trip around it.
Aosta Valley Ski Vacations Under Mont Blanc
Best for strong skiers, and for groups with non skiers who still want the high mountain.
The Aosta Valley is Italy’s grandest ski country, ringed by the highest peaks in the Alps. Courmayeur sits in the shadow of Mont Blanc with sweeping runs and a chic village base, while Cervinia, under the Matterhorn that Italians call Monte Cervino, is the ski resort with the highest and most reliable snow in Europe, with many off-piste opportunities. The Monte Rosa ski resort threads three quiet valleys for those who want space and off-piste skiing, and the Skyway cable car climbs to breathtaking glacier views for non skiers in the group. Between runs, the valley rewards you with Fontina cheese, cured meats, and mountain wines from some of the highest vineyards in Europe, with truly stunning views. We design the days around your level and pair the skiing with the food and the scenery you prefer.
A typical Aosta Valley week pairs mornings on the pistes of Courmayeur or Cervinia with afternoons in the spa and evenings of raclette and Valle d’Aosta reds. We arrange private instructors for every level, off-piste and heli-ski guides for the experienced, and gentle slopes for children, and we time transfers to avoid the busiest valley roads. For non-skiing days we build in the Skyway Monte Bianco ascent, the castles of Fenis and Bard, and the Roman heart of Aosta. We hold the English speaking instructors early, because in Courmayeur and Cervinia they are spoken for by October, and we time the valley transfers around the weekend traffic that catches most visitors.
Our Aosta Valley ski and vacation packages show the weeks we build here most often.
–The Resorts Under the Peaks
Courmayeur sits under Mont Blanc and Cervinia under the Matterhorn, with the highest lift served terrain in Italy. Champoluc and the Monterosa area to the east are quieter and link three valleys on one pass.
Who It Suits
Strong intermediates and above. Cervinia holds snow into late spring because of the altitude, and Courmayeur has the best atmosphere in the valley for travelers who want the town as much as the slopes.
Dolomites Ski Trips in Trentino Alto Adige
Best for mixed ability groups and families, and for the classic linked ski week.
The Dolomites deliver the most beautiful skiing in the world, their pale rock towers glowing pink at sunset above endless linked pistes. The Dolomiti Superski network connects twelve ski resorts and hundreds of miles of runs on a single pass, with the famous Sella Ronda circuit letting you ski a full loop around a massif from hut to hut. Val Gardena and Alta Badia mix gentle cruising with world class slopes and a Ladin culture all their own, and the food here is a delicious blend of Italian and Tyrolean, from speck and dumplings to strudel. This is superb terrain for mixed ability groups, and we build the itinerary so skiers and non skiers alike get to experience the mountains at their best.
The Dolomiti Superski pass links twelve ski resorts on one ticket, and we route confident skiers onto the legendary Sella Ronda circuit while families cruise the wide, sunny runs of Alta Badia and Val Gardena. We reserve lunches with a view, arrange South Tyrolean wine tastings in the evening, and pair the skiing with the Ladin culture and Tyrolean cooking that set this region apart. We buy the Superski pass before you land, reserve the hut lunches that fill weeks ahead on the Sella Ronda, and pace the circuit so your group finishes the loop well before the last lift.
See the Dolomites and Trentino Alto Adige itineraries we run across the Superski network.
Cortina, Val Gardena and Alta Badia
Cortina d’Ampezzo hosted the 1956 Olympics. Ortisei and Selva anchor Val Gardena, Corvara and La Villa anchor Alta Badia, and Canazei sits at the head of Val di Fassa. Arabba has the steepest terrain of the group.
Alpe di Siusi and Kronplatz
Alpe di Siusi is the largest high alpine meadow in Europe and it is where the beginner and intermediate skiing lives, with the Sassolungo peaks in front of you the whole way down. Kronplatz to the north is a single mountain with immaculate grooming.
The Sella Ronda
A circuit around the Sella massif, on lifts and slopes, in one day and in either direction. It crosses four valleys and three language areas, and it is the reason experienced skiers keep coming back to these landscapes.
Bormio and Madesimo Ski Trips in Lombardy
Best for confident skiers who want steep terrain and thermal baths at the end of the day.
Lombardy is the serious racing side of Italian skiing. Bormio holds the Stelvio, one of the hardest downhill courses in the world, and hosts World Cup downhill and slalom every season as well as alpine racing at the 2026 Winter Olympics. It is steep, north facing and holds snow late, and the thermal baths in the town have been running since Roman times, which is a very welcome thing to have at the end of a hard day.
Madesimo sits further north toward the Swiss border, in its own valley. It is a quieter mountain: high, snow sure and a genuine off piste destination without the crowds a famous name brings. Its signature is the Canalone, a couloir so steep that it cannot be groomed by snowcat at all. The line down it is opened each time by the off piste skiers who ski it first, which tells you everything about what kind of terrain it is. Beyond it lies the Val di Lei, wild, remote and one of the great quiet corners of the Italian Alps.
Bormio and Madesimo sit in different valleys and are reached by different roads, so we treat them as two separate bases rather than a pair you hop between. Behind both sits the Valtellina, which means the eating after skiing is pizzoccheri, polenta taragna and mountain cheese aged for years, washed down with the local red. We plan Bormio around the race calendar, because a World Cup weekend either makes the trip or fills every bed in the valley, and there is no middle ground.
The Lombardy travel guide covers the valley beyond the slopes, and the Lombardy vacation packages show what we build there.
Long Runs and Thermal Baths
Bormio has one of the longest continuous descents in the Alps and thermal baths in the town, which is a rare combination. Livigno nearby is higher and holds snow later.
Quieter Than the Dolomites
Madesimo and the Valtellina resorts see far fewer international visitors, so the lift lines are short and the restaurants on the mountain are cooking for Italians. The valley’s wine and cured meats are worth planning a long lunch around.
Piedmont Ski Vacations on the Milky Way Circuit
Best for skiers who want mileage, and for pairing a ski week with wine country or a city.
Piedmont hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics and kept the infrastructure, which is why the skiing here is on a scale most visitors do not expect. Sestriere sits at the heart of the Vialattea, the Milky Way, a linked network of ski resorts running across the French border toward Bardonecchia and on into France with several hundred kilometers of piste on a single pass. It is high, it is reliable, and it is built for people who want to cover ground rather than lap the same run.
The advantage of skiing Piedmont is what surrounds it. Turin is close enough for a day of museums and design at the end of the week, and the Langhe wine country with its Barolo cellars and its truffle season is a short drive south, so a ski trip here can be paired with two entirely different kinds of travel. We route the transfers to take in Turin or the Langhe on the way in or out rather than making a separate trip of it.
Many groups pair the Milky Way with the Langhe wine country of Piedmont, and our Italy food and wine vacations are built around exactly that.
The Milky Way Circuit
Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx and Claviere link into one of the largest connected ski areas in the world. Sestriere was built for skiing and hosted the 2006 Olympic events.
Skiing With Turin and the Langhe
Ninety minutes from Turin, which means a ski week can end with the Barolo hills, the Alba truffle season or a royal palace. Very few ski destinations anywhere offer that.
Molise Ski Trips for Travelers Who Want Quiet Mountains
Best for a short, quiet ski leg inside a larger trip rather than a full ski week.
Molise is the Italian mountain almost nobody outside Italy has heard of, and that is exactly its appeal. Campitello Matese sits on a high limestone plateau in the Matese massif with runs that open onto enormous views across the Apennines, empty pistes on a weekday, and a hush you simply do not get in the Alps. The snow is real, the pace is unhurried, and on a clear day the ridgelines run away from you in every direction with nothing built on them.
What makes it memorable is the combination. You ski in the morning on a mountain where most of the other skiers are local, then come down into stone villages where the cooking has not changed in generations and the welcome is genuinely warm. It is a discovery rather than a destination, and it works beautifully as a few days inside a longer Italian trip rather than as a week on its own. We handle every reservation and transfer so that reaching somewhere this quiet is effortless.
There is more in our Molise travel guide, and the Molise vacation packages show how we reach it.
Campitello Matese
A small Apennine area with reliable snow, almost no international visitors and slopes that suit families and beginners. Nobody goes to Molise, which is exactly why it is here.
What You Trade
Fewer lifts and less vertical than the Alps. What you get is a mountain to yourselves, village prices and a part of Italy most travelers will never see.
Bolzano as a Ski Base for the Dolomites
Best for travelers who want a city to come back to every evening.
The Tyrolean capital of South Tyrol makes an elegant, culture rich base at the gateway to the Dolomites, with easy access to the ski resorts, hotels and restaurants inside a lively arcaded old town, and the famous Iceman museum for rest days.
Bolzano lets you ski the surrounding Dolomite areas by day and return to a lively, cultured city by night, and we arrange the transfers, guides, and a reserved visit to the Iceman museum that make it a rewarding rest-day base. We set the museum visit for a morning when the Iceman gallery is quiet, and we choose ski days on the areas that are quickest to reach from the city rather than the ones with the biggest names.
Our Bolzano vacation packages use the city the same way, as a base you come back to each evening.
A City Base for the Dolomites
Bolzano is a real city with a market, museums and Otzi the Iceman, and it sits within an hour of Alpe di Siusi, Val Gardena and Kronplatz. You get restaurants and bars at night and snow in the morning.
Germanic and Italian at Once
South Tyrol was Austrian until 1919 and still speaks German. The food is dumplings and speck alongside pasta, and the wine is Lagrein and Gewurztraminer. It does not feel like anywhere else in Italy.
Trento Ski Trips With Sparkling Wine Country Attached
Best for a ski trip with history and Trentodoc tastings built into the afternoons.
Graceful Trento anchors the Trentino side of the Dolomites, blending Alpine access with frescoed piazzas, princely history, and the celebrated Trentodoc sparkling wines after skiing in style.
Trento suits travelers who like their mountains paired with history and sparkling wine, and we build in tastings along the Trentodoc route and can add a guided visit to the Castello del Buonconsiglio between days on the slopes. We build the Trentodoc tastings into afternoons when the cellars genuinely open to visitors, and we keep the castle for the day the weather turns.
The Trento vacation packages build the Trentodoc cellars into the afternoons.
Paganella and Madonna di Campiglio
Paganella is twenty minutes from Trento with wide intermediate runs above Lake Garda. Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo further west are the smartest resorts in Trentino and link on one pass.
Sparkling Wine After the Snow
Trentodoc is made by the traditional method in the valleys below the slopes, and the cellars are twenty minutes from the lifts. A tasting on the way back down is the easiest add on on this page.
Skiing Mount Etna in Sicily
Best as a single unforgettable day, not as a ski week.
Almost nobody thinks of Sicily as a ski destination, which is precisely why it is worth knowing about. Mount Etna carries ski lifts and marked runs on both the southern and northern flanks, the most unlikely ski resort in Europe, and skiing an active volcano with the Mediterranean in view below you is an experience available nowhere else in Europe. The snow is genuine, the season is short, and the volcanic ash gives the pistes a color no other mountain has.
Treat it as the folkloric day rather than the week. Most travelers ski Etna in the morning and are on the coast by the afternoon, which makes it the only place in Italy where that sentence is literally true. We pair it with Catania or Taormina and check conditions the same week, because Etna decides its own schedule and occasionally closes without notice.
Pair it with the rest of the island through our Sicily travel guide, or see how it fits a longer trip in our coastal Italy vacations.
Skiing an Active Volcano
Two small areas, Nicolosi on the south side and Linguaglossa on the north, on black volcanic ground above the tree line. The runs are short. The experience of skiing toward the sea from an erupting volcano is not.
The Only Place You Can Do Both
Ski in the morning, be on the coast at Taormina or Catania by the afternoon. Etna is the only mountain in Europe where a ski day and a Mediterranean beach are ninety minutes apart.
Why Ski Italy Rather Than France, Austria or Switzerland
Every skier weighs this up before committing a week and a set of flights. Our answer is that Italy is exceptionally good at a specific set of things, and if those happen to be the things you care about, nothing else quite lands the same way.
The mountain lunch. This is not a small point. In Italy the mountain hut is somewhere to sit down for two hours and eat properly, and it changes the shape of the whole day. You get the cuisine Italy is famous for, at altitude, framed by some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the world, in the middle of a day doing the thing you came to do. Very few places on earth can hand you all three at once.
Linked terrain and range. Twelve ski resorts sit on the single Dolomiti Superski ticket, which makes it the largest network of its kind in the country, though it is nothing like the only one. The Vialattea, the Milky Way, runs from Sestriere across a vast linked network toward the French border. And most Italian ski resorts carry enough kilometers of piste on their own to keep even a strong skier happily occupied for a full week without ever leaving the valley.
Altitude and reliability. Height is what delivers snow in November and keeps it under you in April, and the Italian resorts we plan around are built high enough to do both. Cervinia sits higher than almost anything in the Alps and shares its glacier with Zermatt. Courmayeur looks straight at Mont Blanc from the Italian side of the massif. Altitude is the single best predictor of a good week, and Italy has it in abundance.
The evenings. Italy has real style in the things it chooses to do well, and that includes the end of the day. Apres ski here is lively and genuinely enjoyable across the Italian ski resorts, not confined to one or two of them, and it is done with a sense of occasion rather than as an endurance event. Italian ski resorts are hotel and apartment country rather than chalet country, which suits most travelers very well and is worth knowing before you plan.
If your group wants long scenic pistes, dependable snow, the best lunch in the Alps and an evening you actually remember, Italy is not a compromise. It is the reason people who ski here keep coming back.
Practical Answers Before You Book an Italy Ski Trip
The questions guests actually ask us, answered before you have to ask them.
Reading Italian Slope Colors
Blue is easiest, red is intermediate, black is expert. There is no green. A red in the Dolomites is usually gentler than a red in France, which catches out intermediates in both directions the first time.
Snowboarding and the Parks
Every area on this page takes snowboarders, and Livigno, Alpe di Siusi and Madonna di Campiglio have the strongest parks. Kids and first timers do best in Val Gardena and on Alpe di Siusi, where the beginner terrain is separate rather than squeezed in.
The Season and the Snow
Early December to early April across most of the Alps. Cervinia and Livigno hold the longest because of altitude. The Dolomites have the most reliable snowmaking in Europe, so a thin natural year matters less here than almost anywhere.
Lift Passes That Cover More Than One Area
Dolomiti Superski is a single pass across twelve areas and 450 lifts. The Monterosa pass links three Aosta valleys. Buying the right pass at the start is worth more than any other decision on a ski week.
The Afternoon and the Evening
Italian mountain restaurants are the best in the Alps and lunch is a proper meal, not a queue. The apres ski is earlier and more relaxed than in France or Austria, with bars filling around four and dinner in the town afterward.
What Else Fits in the Week
Venice is under two hours from Cortina d’Ampezzo. Verona and Lake Garda sit below the Trentino resorts, Turin below the Milky Way, and Taormina below Etna. A ski trip in Italy does not have to be only a ski trip, and most of ours are not.
Who Arranges It
Transfers from the airport, lift passes, instructors, equipment and the restaurant bookings that fill up in February. Our own specialists travel these valleys and the relationships are theirs, so a group of friends with mixed abilities gets a week that works for all of them.
How We Plan Your Trip
The Italian ski season runs from December into April, with the highest resorts holding snow longest and the Dolomites at their best in clear late winter light. What decides your week is not the resort, it is the match between your group and the mountain.
So the first thing we ask is who is on skis, what they can genuinely handle, and who is not skiing at all. That answer sets the valley. From there we hold the English speaking instructors before they are committed for the season, buy the lift passes ahead of arrival, reserve the hut lunches that fill weeks in advance, and time the valley transfers around the weekend traffic that catches almost every visitor. You get a first itinerary to react to rather than a form to fill in, and nothing is confirmed until you have changed whatever you want changed.
Ready To Plan Your Italy Ski Vacation?
Tell us who is skiing, what they can handle and roughly when you want to travel, and we will come back with a first itinerary rather than a list of resorts to research. Nothing is booked until you have seen the plan and changed whatever you want changed.
Name the valley if you have one in mind and we will build the week around it. If all you have settled is that the group wants snow and Italy, that is plenty to work from.

Frequently Asked Questions About Italy Ski Vacations
When is the best time to ski in Italy?
The season generally runs from December through April. The highest resorts such as Cervinia and the glacier areas hold snow the longest, while late winter brings clear light and the Dolomites at their most beautiful. We plan around the conditions and your dates.
Which Italian ski area is best for my group?
It depends on your ability and what you want. The Dolomites suit mixed ability groups and scenery lovers, the Aosta Valley offers the highest, most challenging terrain, and quieter areas like Molise reward those seeking authenticity. We match the resort to your group.
Can you arrange private ski instructors and lift passes?
Yes. Private instructors, lift passes, equipment rental, and transfers are all arranged in advance as part of your custom trip, so everything is ready when you arrive.
Is there anything for non skiers in the group?
Absolutely. Cable car excursions to glacier viewpoints, spa days, wine tastings, and charming mountain towns give non skiers a wonderful trip of their own. We build the days so everyone is happy.
Do you handle accommodations and transfers in the mountains?
Yes. We arrange well located accommodations, private transfers that avoid the trickiest mountain roads, and every reservation, confirmed before you travel.
