Italy Snow

Amateur snowboarding holiday in Italy

Many amateurs snowboarders take the mistake of focusing on snowboarding facilities and amenities before finalizing their winter vacation in Italy. Such snowboarders fail to understand that they are called amateurs simply because they are not ready to live, think, breathe, eat, and sleep snowboarding at all times. A real snowboarding enthusiast will not think twice about snowboarding in the evening despite having spent time on the slope in the morning and the afternoon as well.

Viva Italia

There are many misconceptions about what Italy is like but unless you go there and experience it for yourselves there is no way of knowing the truth. People rarely speak of the great snow, beautiful mountains and lovely people that are actually out there. Instead they just mention how expensive it is, how tough the police are and how dangerous the mafia are. These things are so silly and untrue.

Snow Safe

I was just about finished with all my plans for my last trip out to Italy when I realised I needed to renew my holiday insurance. Before I did so I decided to read through the terms and conditions once more, and it was quite a shock to me. I noticed that some of the wording in one section implied that if I was engaged in any unduly safe activities whilst travelling, I would not be liable to claim for resulting damages or injuries or for brain injury compensation.

Refreshing Italian Ski resorts

At that time, I was planning a week long, refreshing and physically active skiing holiday plus an investment in Hua Hin Real Estate. As you might have guessed my first impulse was to research the vacation before any investment and I decided to obey my impulse meekly! Because I had no particular skiing place in mind, there was a wide choice before me. And as I ploughed through the online material on skiing vacations, Italy emerged clearly as the winner. The options I found there got me excited immediately and within the hour I was closeted with my travel agent to finalize my travel plans!

The old order changeth, giving way to the new! This saying may have been coined to express a different situation, but it could well be describing something that I enjoy immensely! I have been an avid skiing enthusiast and have tried most of the ski slopes in Europe.

Skiing in untouched Italy

I have always appreciated people who can cut through the superfluous and get to the gist of the matter. I always trust their opinion as they don’t mince words or gloss over insignificant details. The other day I was looking up some commercial property management firms when I came upon a comparative observation from one of the firm’s spokesperson about snowboarding in Italy. To me that was news! I always associated Italy with spaghetti, olives and harsh mountain regions in More

Great Fun in Italy

It’s true that the world is effulged with economic crisis, especially Europe and the Euro. First it was Greece, now people are scared for Spain and there are some speculations about Germany as well. While these economic crises continue to prolong in many ways, the travelling industry is still surviving, clearly sending the message that vacation plans are not going to be hampered by these economic storms. Yes it’s true that the destination might change, may be the length of More

Italy’s Snowboarding

Invariably when mention of snow or skiing was made, what jumped to my mind were the ski slopes of Switzerland. That was until I came across the opportunities that Italy throws up. After having hosted the winter Olympics in 2006, things have improved considerably here. Huge investments have been made and the facilities now are better than ever before. There are some superb runs along varied slopes. In fact, the Italian resorts tend to be cheaper and less crowded than More
