Easily missed unless you're in the know, Pila ski resort is a family-friendly alpine ski village right at the heart of Italy's Aosta Valley. Savvy locals from Turin and Milan flock here for ski weekends, but book a mid-week break, and you’ll be gliding through the quiet snow-dusted pine forests in near solitude.
The easy-to-reach nursery area will keep mini skiers entertained all day long on a Pila ski holiday, and freeride fans can slip and slide through the 70km of powdery off-piste woodlands.
With Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn vistas on the horizon, and with plenty of hotels here ski-in/ski-out, it's safe to say ski holidays to Pila are nothing short of Bellissimo!
