Thanks to Italy's geography and terrain, the country offers plenty of good ski resorts. Skiing is popular in Italy, thanks to the great number of well equipped resorts, a fairly commonplace activity. Many Italians, in addition to their month-long summer holiday, will take a 'settimana bianca' (white week) for this friendly and relaxed affair, involving eating, drinking and sunbathing. Add to that stylish and sophisticated nightlife as city folk flood in for the weekends and a ski holiday in Italy has its own charm and pace. Admittedly the ski resorts here are not as famous as those in Switzerland and Austria, but they have a charm of their own. Skiing in Italy is sure to be a memorable experience for the diverse array of options that it offers to the holiday makers - ski off into another country, duty-free skiing zones, year-round skiing and summer-only skiing. This is the time to consider Italy as a great ski destination. Overall, Italian ski resorts have some great skiing and après-ski, in a more laid-back fashion than elsewhere in the Alps, as most of Italy's ski resorts are perhaps more suited to the beginner and intermediate skier, although challenging skiing is still a plenty for those that hunt it down.
