The Valle d’Aosta, or Aosta Valley, has long been my Italian family’s favorite destination for skiing and celebrating Christmas. With its hearty cuisine, lively après-ski scene, and stunning slopes, it’s the perfect winter escape. Whether you’re planning an annual family ski trip or a cozy, romantic getaway in a picturesque cabin, these Aosta Valley ski resorts offer something for everyone.

Tucked away between Piedmont and the French and Swiss borders, the region is easily accessible from cities like Geneva, Turin, and Lyon, making it an ideal choice for a weekend or holiday retreat. And with 19 ski resorts, it draws skiers from around the globe.
