South Tyrol is Italy's most northerly province set in the Italian Alps and home to the dramatic Dolomite mountains. With eighty 3,000 metre high peaks, as well as the 'Dolomiti Superski', and a range of high quality ski schools and tamer runs, South Tyrol is every winter sport enthusiast, and novice's dream. In these breathtaking mountain regions, the beauty of the area has been recognised by UNESCO who recently awarded the Dolomites the internationally renowned title of World Heritage Site.
With 15 amazing historical ski routes, a phenomenal 90% of slopes covered by snow making, 45 resorts and warm Italian hospitality, this adds up to a ski experience of a lifetime. All in a place where you can enjoy a sunny day's skiing under blue skies over 80% of the time.
The region offers excellent down hill and cross-country options for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, and for less experienced snow bunnies South Tyrol has 63 ski schools. After a day on the slopes, skiers and snowboarders can enjoy après ski fun in cosy log huts or drop in at events organised on and off the slopes. With only 2% of visitors coming from the UK, South Tyrol is a secret ski spot, waiting to be discovered, so this is definitely the place to come to escape crowded slopes and lift queues. It's time you discovered South Tyrol.
Neilson's South Tyrol Resorts:
Kronplatz
With some of the best child care options in Italy, Kronplatz is a superb destination for families. The ski area at Kronplatz concentrates on one, large dome-shaped mountain with runs trickling down in all directions offering a challenge to all ability levels. At the top of the hill there is a fantastic centre for childcare, along with the children's ski school making it really easy for the family to meet up during the day.With an amazing 19 gondolas and a new link into the rest of the 'Dolomiti super ski' region, Kronplatz also offers the chance to put in some serious mileage.
Selva/Ortisei/St Cristina
All settled in the valley known as "Val Gardena". At a high altitude of 1563m, and host to world cup downhill races. Selva itself is a fairly is a fairly small town that thrives during the winter months from the skiers both staying there and passing through each day. It is popular with the British who enjoy the local apres-ski in the cosy bars dotted around the resort. The bus service is regular and efficient running up and down the valley floor throughout the day, connecting to St Cristina and Ortisei.
With slopes for all abilities to enjoy, and a great launch pad from which to explore the rest of the 'Dolomiti Superski' area with ease. Corvara spreads out in the Alta Badia region of the Dolomites. Among the surrounding craggy peaks, the local slopes are generally gentle, rolling snowy meadows, with most of the slopes in this immeadiate vicinity being blue runs. Corvara is one of Neilson's most exclusive resorts, with excellent hotel standards, food, and fantasic skiing.
