Skiing in eastern Italy late November??
Hi all,
We'll be in Verona on 28 November and wondered if it would be worthwhile to try and get in some skiing - probably only a couple of days - at that time. A couple of provisos: 1. If possible I'd like to stay over the eastern side of the country. 2. Coming from the hot, flat side of Australia, we only get to ski once every 5 years or so, we really need a place with VERY gentle slopes, real nursery runs. Any ideas?? Any preferences?? Any places to avoid at all costs?? Thanks in anticipation. Please reply to the group. Cheers, PC |

A good place to start might be Asiago, being very close to Verona, cheaper than bigger places and quite easy and small. There are also ski schools in the area, here's a site i found: http://www.scuolescialtopianoasiago.it/ Skiing a few hours with a instructor might just be the best thing you can do if the slopes feel too steep If you search for bigger mountains, and prices, there is, of course, the dolomiti area: http://www.dolomitisuperski.com/ Ville, Helsinki Finland |

cheaper than bigger places and quite easy and small. Not by that date. If you really want to ski you have to get to a glacier. The closest to Verona is in Austria, about a couple of hours northward, the Stubai-Glacier. The slopes are mild and the snow is there. And, important enough, the season is on. Italian alternatives are represented by Stelvio-Glacier and Val Senales. Cervinia is good and wide, but too far from Verona, in the north-west. Have fun. Enotrio |
