 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
We are mixed group, ranging from very nervous beginners and intermediates and more experienced intermediates, as well as a non skier looking for something to do during the day! We've previously skied in pila and folgarida/Marilleva. We love Italy and have skied in France, Austria and Andorra, but always end up back in Italy! Can anyone suggest some resorts with nice blues and cruisy reds in Italy? Any suggestions gratefully received!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would recommend the Dolomites- probably Alta Badia area. Although I didn't get to ski it much during my visit to the area, it appeared best set for cruisey blues and reds. The non skier has some stunning scenery around and can visit Cortina, which is a decent sized town.
If that's not enough for them, I would agree with @moseyp, and go for Courmayeur, as it's a pretty village and the non skier has access to other interesting towns like Chamonix and Aosta + cable car up Mont Blanc.
An outside bet would be Bardennecia, as there's a train station, which enables access to Turin and beyond. The skiing is 100kms of mainly blues and reds.

I dont think you can beat alta badia for beginners/ nervous intermediates and more confident skiiers have chance to go further afield to sella ronda hidden valley etc. Not sure there is much to do in these resorts for non skiiers though (other than to admire the stunning scenery and eat great food!). It is possible for non skiers to meet others at some great places on mountain for lunch

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Seiseralm would be worth a look. Lots of nice blues and easy reds. Kastelruth at the foot of the area is a nice old town. The non skier could also visit nearby St Ulrich (Ortisei) and Bozen (Bolzano) both of which are fairly short rides on regular buses. Bozen has a number of museums and other cultural draws and is a good place to hang out with the only Indian restaurant in the Südtirol!
