Thinking of Italy, the first images that come to mind are often glimpses of iconic cities of art and Mediterranean landscapes framed by a crystal clear sea, but in a nation where 35.2% of territory is mountainous, the destinations where to spend an enchanting winter holiday surrounded by snowy peaks and breathtaking natural landscapes are really many.

From north to south, between more famous destinations or places still far from mass tourism, the mountain resorts where to spend a holiday in winter have really much to offer, not only for skiers. The Alps and the Apennines are a perfect destination for those who love nature and winter sports, but also for those who want to immerse themselves in the culture and so different regional traditions, taste dishes, wines and a warm welcome.
