Overview: All ski resorts in Italy<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Breuil-Cervinia – Valtournenche<\/h2>\n

Elevation:<\/strong> up to 3,883 m<\/p>\n

Is the Matterhorn now in Italy? Yes, Monte Cervino, as the locals call it. And since Switzerland and Italy share the world-famous mountain<\/a> due to the border, it almost goes without saying that this also applies to the large ski area at the foot of the Matterhorn. The large ski area in the border region between Zermatt, Breuil-Cervinia and Valtournenche is known as the Matterhorn ski paradise. As the gondolas of the Matterhorn<\/a> Glacier Ride II on the Italian side end at the highest mountain station in Europe on the Klein Matterhorn (3,883 m) in the Breuil-Cervinia – Valtournenche<\/a> ski area, it is also the highest ski area in Italy. Here, skiers and snowboarders can enjoy 150 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes, which are accessible almost all year round thanks to the glacier location.<\/p>\n

2. Monterosa Ski<\/h2>\n

Elevation:<\/strong> up to 3,275 m<\/p>\n

With 205 kilometres of slopes, the Monterosa Ski region<\/a> is Italy’s second largest ski area, stretching from Piedmont to the Aosta Valley. Away from the slopes, this mega ski resort is also considered a paradise for freeriders. An ideal entry point to the deep snow area is located on the eastern edge of the lift network: here, several lift stations take you up to Indren, which rises to 3,275 metres between the Gressoney Valley and Valsesia, making Monterosa Ski the second highest ski resort in Italy. From here, a fantastic ski route leads to the groomed slopes in the Gabiet area.<\/p>\n

3. Arabba-Marmolada<\/h2>\n

Elevation:<\/strong> up to 3,269 m<\/p>\n

One of the most famous mountain ranges in Italy is the Marmolada with its glacier. At its foot lies the Arabba-Marmolada<\/a> ski area with a total of 63 kilometres of varied slopes. The ski area’s 23 lifts include a 70-person cable car, whose mountain station is located at Punta Rocca, 3,269 metres above sea level. From here, skiers and snowboarders not only have a fantastic panoramic view of the fascinating peaks of the Dolomites. The 12-kilometre-long \u2018La Bellunese\u2019 is a challenging red glacier run and one of the highest ski slopes in Italy. Another advantage of the Arabba-Marmolada ski area is that it is one of the entry points to the world-famous Sellaronda<\/a>.<\/p>\n
