Why you should consider Italy rather than France for your next ski trip⛷️

Why you should consider Italy rather than France for your next ski trip⛷️

Yes France is synonymous with world-class skiing. But here's the thing: Italy's ski resorts offer everything France does, often better, and at a fraction of the price. If you haven't considered the Italian Alps for your next winter escape, it's time to rethink your plans.

🍝The food alone makes it worth it – Fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and mountain huts serving truffle risotto vs. overpriced crepes. Italian refugios are a vibe.
💰 Your money goes further – Lift tickets, accommodations, and aprés drinks cost 30% less than the top French resorts. Vialattea ski pass= nearly £100 cheaper than a week at Val Thrones.
☀️ Sunshine + stunning scenery – The Dolomites get 300+ days of sun and looks like a fairytale (UNESCO World Heritage dramatic pink peaks). No concrete purpose-built towns in sight.
🎿 Less crowded, more charm – Skip the lift lines and discover authentic mountain villages where locals live year-round. Cortina, Courmayeur, livigno >>>
🏔️ Terrain variety is insane – One lift pass connects multiple valleys and regions. Ski Italy in the morning, Austria or France by lunch. The Sella Ronda circuit alone beats most French resort.
