Description
Swap the slopes of Verbier for a day discovering one of Italy’s best-kept ski secrets, combining high-altitude skiing, authentic Italian flavours and a little shopping along the way.
Just across the border from Switzerland, the ski resort of Pila offers a fantastic day on the mountain with breathtaking views stretching from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn. Known for its wide, uncrowded pistes, sunny slopes and relaxed atmosphere, Pila is a favourite among those who enjoy exploring beyond the better-known resorts.
After a morning on the skis, enjoy lunch on the mountain or in one of Pila’s welcoming restaurants before descending into the historic city of Aosta.
Here, the pace slows as you swap ski boots for strolling shoes and immerse yourself in the charm of this alpine Italian town. Browse elegant boutiques, artisan food shops and local delicatessens before settling into a traditional aperitivo, soaking up the atmosphere that makes Italy so irresistible.
Whether it’s a perfectly mixed Spritz, a local wine from the Aosta Valley or a platter of regional delicacies, the afternoon offers a wonderful opportunity to unwind after a day on the slopes.
Combining skiing, Italian culture, local flavours and a touch of shopping, this experience is perfect for guests looking to discover a different side of the Alps whilst making the most of their time in the mountains.
