Looking for a fantastic winter getaway spot on a budget? Look no further than the Italian Alps. Italy offers incredible value for money compared to other popular ski destinations in Europe. For example, prices for espresso and pasta are significantly lower, with the Alps being 70-100% more expensive. Even a peak-week, February half-term vacation in a quality three-star hotel can come in at less than EUR1,745 (₤1,500) per person, including flights and transfers. All of these fantastic deals can be found in or around Canazei in Val di Fassa, part of the expansive Dolomiti Superski area.

But it’s not just about the savings – the Italian Alps are simply captivating. The Aosta Valley and the Dolomites are two of Italy’s most awe-inspiring regions, offering stunning landscapes for skiing and incredible gastronomic experiences. The Dolomites, for example, boast mesmerizing rock formations and unique cuisine, making it a must-visit destination. And with direct flights available from Stansted to Bolzano, there’s never been a better time to plan your trip to this remarkable region.

While Italy may not be known for heavy snowfall, its dependable snow-making systems ensure good-quality powder on the slopes, making for a delightful skiing experience. And with the Winter Olympics coming to Italy in February 2026, it’s the perfect time to explore these stunning areas before the world discovers them.
