Will possibly be going to Italy last minute in December. Which resorts have short/straight forward transfers? That also tend to have good snow in December.

Sauze d oulx has a very short transfer 1hr but the snow will be hit or miss in December

Many of the resorts in the Aosta valley are an easy drive from Turin, if that's a possibility. But "December" covers everything from a couple of early season weeks to the busiest of the year. That might make a difference, as might dates. Some transfers only operate at weekends.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@JRB747373, where are you based? Will dictate the destination airport. Eg Sky Alps is great if you live near(ish) to Gatwick. Otherwise it's a non-starter
Turin or Milan Malpensa is usually your best bet.... above considerations apply

Force one is ‘light air’ apparently. Force 8 is a gale. Just saying’

Turin is my favourite European airport. Surprisingly for Italy it works incredibly smoothly. Very easy access to most eastern Italian alps resorts. Cheap car hire also out of main season.

You know it makes sense.

Sauze from Turin is a breeze. Watch your weeks tho, we went mid December and only 2 lifts running - still had a great time as there was no one there, like a private resort!
Same applies anywhere, even if they're "open" you might get less than you expect early season.

Claviere (or metres away, Montgenevre in France). An easy drive from Turin, excellent snow record.

Turin to Aosta (Pila, Cervinia, La Thuile, Courmayeur, Monte Rosa) - 1.5 hours approx
Milan airports (Malpensa, Linate, bergamo) to Aosta - 2 to 2. 5 hours (Bergamo furthest)
Bergamo - Passo Del Tonale 2 hours
Venice - Passo San Pellegrino, Moena, San Martino, Alleghe, Zoldo, Cortina - 2 hours or slightly less
Verona - some Dolomite resorts - 1.5 hours
Cervinia and the two Passos would certainly be fine in Dec as are high resorts but I would think all of those resorts would be fine
