There’s a buzz happening in the Italian mountains, with a slew of new openings and hotel updates putting The Dolomites firmly in the spotlight. Firstly, making it easier than ever to reach the UNESCO-protected peaks found in north-eastern Italy, is SkyAlps’ new direct flight route from London Gatwick to Bolzano.

The Italian airline first launched its new London-Bolzano route for winter 2023/24 in December. This year, it is now flying from London Gatwick for its first summer season. The new London Gatwick—Bolzano route runs twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
