Winter Sports Vacations in Italy

Thursday October 5, 2006
If you're thinking about traveling to Italy in winter, fall is a good time to make your plans. Italy offers many winter sports options but one of the best regions for skiing and winter sports is the Piedmont region where the 2006 Winter Olympics were held. The mountains of Piedmont provide a unique backdrop for winter sports and they also offer peace and quiet for amateurs to have fun, space for beginners, and great cultural and gastronomic traditions. It's a good opportunity to visit the city of Turin, too. Take a look at Ski Piemonte for winter sports ideas in the Piedmont region of northern Italy.
