In the Aosta Valley, amid the giants of the Alps, skiing is always an extra-special experience. You can try out new runs every day for a week and explore uncharted itineraries from Italy to France to Switzerland, without ever taking your skis off. There are five major ski areas located around the highest of the mountains in the Italian Alps: Courmayeur, La Thuile, Pila, Monterosa ski and Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche.
