Ski Ability

The tour includes moderate to challenging sking and includes many 'black' pistes' so is only suitable for fit advanced, experienced skiers. All guests will be 'qualified' before booking to ensure that the group is of the necessary fitness & ski ability.

On-piste trails are utilised throughout the tour. Off-piste skiing is possible along the way (as long as it doesn't slow the group down!), but it at your own risk and will be without the ski leader.

Getting There & Away

To reach the start of the tour, Innsbruck (INN) is the gateway airport. Yes fly to Austria to ski Italy! If flights to Innsbruck are too awkward, then Verona (VRN) is the next best, but its flight schedule is even less than Innsbruck. Major international airports of use are Munich (MUC) (just 2½hr train ride from Innsbruck) or Venice (VCE). Either way transfers can be arranged, or just get to Innsbruck and get picked up by the included airport transfer. On the last of the ski safari, after a great night’s sleep & breakfast, you will be driven to your preferred airport or other destination as negotiated with the tour operator.
