Dotted across the whole east-west width of the Alps, Italy's resorts offer a powerful combination of attractions: top class lifts, snowmaking and piste preparation, wonderful scenery, unbeatable food and wine - and to top it off, the lowest prices in western Europe. The book:- covers Italy's top 35 resorts in detail- is fearlessly frank and uncompromisingly impartial in its assessment of resorts- meets the needs of the many, not the few - rates resorts for every standard of skier- includes scores of photos and mountain maps- is designed to be used, with sewn binding and cover flaps for convenient page markingConceived by the editors of Where to Ski and Snowboard, these new guides - researched and written to the same high standards - have less of the ephemeral detail that people can now get from the web, and more in-depth analysis of the merits of resorts - and coverage of more resorts, too.
