Best Ski Resort in Italy: Alta Badia - Overall Rating

Alta Badia shines as part of the Dolomiti Superski area, with the dramatic Dolomites creating a stunning backdrop for your skiing adventures. Our users consistently praise the impeccably groomed runs and efficient lift system. One Snomad community member liked the "variety of ski runs of all grades" making it perfect for families and mixed-ability groups. The Sella Ronda circuit is frequently mentioned as a highlight - a 42km tour around the mountains that intermediate skiers can tackle confidently. On-mountain dining gets top marks too, with skier Max noting "some of the most consistent snow in Europe and beautiful scenery to accompany it."

#2 Arabba Marmolada - Overall Rating

Arabba Marmolada offers a skier's paradise with exceptional access to the Sella Ronda circuit. Our users consistently praise the well-groomed pistes and efficient lift system that rarely sees queues. The resort shines for intermediate and advanced skiers, with the Marmolada glacier providing stunning views and memorable descents. One Snomad community member liked that "you can travel miles" on the extensive network of runs. While après-ski is limited, the mountain restaurants serve fantastic Italian food at reasonable prices. Perfect for those who prioritise first-lift-up, last-run-down skiing rather than partying. The breathtaking Dolomite scenery provides a spectacular backdrop to what many consider a hidden gem.

#3 Livigno - Overall Rating

Livigno is a favourite among skiers and snowboarders for its early snowfall and excellent spring conditions. Our users love the wide, well-groomed pistes and impressive terrain parks. One Snomad community member liked that "you can hit perfect powder days in March," while the tax-free status makes for affordable drinks and dining both on and off the mountain. The resort is particularly praised for being family-friendly with excellent ski schools. Though some mention the lengthy transfer time, most agree it's worth the journey. As Kaspars, an expert snowboarder, puts it: "Been to lots of different resorts and this is a place where I'm ready to return."
