Best Ski Resort for Snowboarders in Italy: Cervinia - Breuil - Snowboarders Rating

Snowboarders rave about Cervinia's wide, well-groomed pistes which are perfect for carving. One Snomad community member liked the "long sweeping runs which are challenging and easy riding" and the high altitude ensures good snow conditions throughout the season. Advanced riders appreciate the accessible off-piste terrain after heavy snowfall, while intermediates enjoy the varied terrain. The link to Zermatt expands riding options considerably, though lifts can be affected by high winds. The Valtournenche side offers quieter slopes with lovely long, wide runs. For those looking to avoid crowds, weekday riding is recommended, especially between 12-2pm when the slopes are nearly empty.

#2 Pila - Snowboarders Rating

Snowboarders will find Pila a welcoming playground with plenty to offer. One Snomad community member liked the "great set of slopes of varying difficulty" that help you progress from beginner to advanced quickly. The snowpark receives positive mentions, with Philip noting it's "well-maintained and fun for those looking to challenge themselves." For freestyle enthusiasts, there are decent terrain features and some great opportunities for finding side hits and powder stashes off-piste. The resort's quiet slopes are particularly appreciated - Ronald, an intermediate snowboarder, highlighted Pila as "great for beginner to intermediates" while noting advanced riders might complete the resort after a few days but will still find "great runs worth sessioning."

#3 Pontedilegno - Tonale - Snowboarders Rating

Pontedilegno-Tonale offers snowboarders of all levels a fantastic playground. Our reviewers mention that beginners benefit from excellent instructors who quickly help riders get the hang of it, with wide, gentle slopes perfect for learning. The resort features a small terrain park that gets solid marks from the Snomad community, while more advanced riders can find enjoyment in the varied terrain, especially at the glacier. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said heading to Ponte di Legno provides quieter runs and more challenging reds and blacks. While not the most expansive area for experts, the well-maintained pistes, fast lifts and relatively quiet slopes make for a quality boarding experience.
