The Vialattea, which is located in Italy near the French border, is an expansive ski region with a name that is generally translated as the 'milky way.' The reliability of snow conditions and the astounding beauty of the landscapes are just two of the reasons why the place is the 'via lattea'.

There are numerous ski resorts that offer challenging ski runs for intermediate and expert skiers. But where do beginners go? Should they get stuck in mountain slopes where the snow cover is provided by snow cannons? The beginners will also want to experience the exhilaration of real alpine skiing, and the place for them is Val Rendena in Italy.
