Winter in Italy: Hitting the Slopes and Alpine Winter Markets

from Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast · host Darcy Melton | Nathaniel Mellor

It's wintertime in Italy and the most northern bits of Italy know how to make things festive and cozy. In this episode, we're talking about towns in the Italian Alps. These towns are great choices for an Italian winter vacation with skiing, snowshoeing, Christmas markets, mulled wine, and thermal baths. In case you want to look them up on your own, the towns we're talking about specifically are: - Gressoney-Saint-Jean (Aosta)- Gressoney-La-Trinité (Aosta) - Livigno (Sondrio)- Tirano (Sondrio)- Bormio (Sondrio)- Bressanone/Brixen (Trentino-Alto Adige) - Merano (Trentino-Alto Adige) - Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige) We also talk about the Treninio Rosso in Tirano, a scenic train through the Italian Alps, as well as Dolomiti Superski, a project connecting ski facilities, hotels, rental, etc. in 12 towns in the Dolomite mountains.
