Italy

Italy is a destination for both winter and summer vacations. We try to make a car trip there less stressful and inconvenient.

The autumn infection surge triggered a series of decisions aimed at limiting the spread of the disease. What do we know and what can we expect?

In a few years, will we be able to taste winter sports in the world's third largest combined ski region? Cervinia and Monterosa Ski are in talks.

Last year Zermatt celebrated the opening of the world's highest 3-S cable car after more than 3 years of construction. We already know it's not over, as another unique construction project is starting in April.

We decided to check out the mecca of Italian freeride and the group of resorts united under the name of Monterosa Ski. Is it a place for everyone? Let's find out.

After a very hot summer in southern Europe this year, it got cold very quickly. Cold enough to let skiing resorts open their slopes. Therefore we check where you can go now to enjoy the first snow this season.

Befitting their UNESCO World Heritage Site status, the Dolomites are one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Europe. Of historical importance to the Italians, more recently they have become a mecca for winter sports fans. The Dolomiti Superski area is popular with skiers from all over the world. In this article we will focus on the topmost parts of the region.

As the highest situated resort in Europe, Zermatt-Breuil-Cervinia-Valtournenche is, on paper, quite the attraction for the ski enthusiast. The lifts on the Plateau Rosa glacier are open nearly year-round, and the thickness of snow cover rarely dips below a meter. Still, it remains an unpopular choice among skiers, and so we set out to find why.

Two avalanches swept down in Italy's Aosta Valley yesterday. Three people were killed.

Freeride? Sure. But what if one was to trade a mundane gondola for... a helicopter?
