For a long time Italy was considered to be a cheaper option for a ski holiday in the Alps, but recently facilities have improved significantly and Italy's ski resorts span some of the world's great domains, with the SuperDolomiti region and the Milky Way offering hundreds of kilometres of lift-linked slopes. The skiing season in Italy runs from December to late March, although it is still possible to take a skiing holiday anytime of year in the Matterhorn in the Valle d'Aosta, and on Mont Blanc.

Etna in Italy is suitable for families, couples and kids / children. The ski school at Etna caters for all levels of skiing, from beginner to intermediate to advanced skiers.

Top Tips for Skiing in Etna

1. Stay Warm. Other than buying good quality ski clothing, you should always dress in layers as they trap warm air in the spaces between.
2. Stay hydrated. You must replenish your liquids from all that exercise.
3. Take a lesson. No matter how good your skiing, it can be invaluable to get expert advice both on your style and the local conditions and ski slopes.
4. If you don’t fall, you’re not skiing hard enough. Many ski instructors say that you cannot get better without pushing yourself.
5. Look out for beginners. We all started as beginners and their occasional lack of control is to be expected, not a cause for your annoyance.
