Snow in Italy
Italy’s ski resorts spread along the whole southern side of the Alps. The Aosta Valley in the north-west has Courmayeur under Mont Blanc and Cervinia under the Matterhorn, sharing lifts with Zermatt. Piedmont has Sestriere, host of the 2006 Olympic alpine events. Lombardy has Livigno, a high, duty-free valley, and Bormio. In the north-east, the Dolomites hold Val Gardena, Alta Badia and Cortina d’Ampezzo, all on the Dolomiti Superski pass, with Madonna di Campiglio in the Brenta group to the west.
Being on the southern side of the Alps means more sun and, in most winters, somewhat less snow than the French and Swiss resorts over the ridge. In our record the Italian resorts average about 9 to 10 snowy days at mid-mountain from December to March, and the Dolomites are drier still, which is why they rely heavily on snowmaking and are known for their groomed pistes rather than deep powder.
When it snows
Most resorts open in late November or early December and close in April, with Cervinia and Livigno running into May. The Dolomites get their biggest snowfalls from southerly storms that push moist air up from the Adriatic.
Getting there
Turin and Milan are the airports for the western resorts; Verona, Venice and Innsbruck for the Dolomites. Cervinia and Courmayeur are also reachable from Geneva through the Mont Blanc tunnel.
