Famed for winter skiing and summer hiking and climbing opportunities, the Dolomites are a section of the Alps in northeastern Italy, running roughly from Pieve di Cadore in the east to the Adige River in the west. Marmolada, just east of Trento, is the highest peak, at nearly 11,000 feet. The dramatic and craggy mountains are famed for their unique colors, which are the result of their partial formations as undersea coral colonies before being pushed upward millions of years ago.

This ski resort on the western edge of the Dolomite Mountains has a reputation for being family-oriented, and there’s truth in that. There are classes for kids, and a couple of runs designed for those still wobbly on skis. The majority of the 19 slopes down the Doss del Sabion are for beginning or intermediate skiers, but there are a couple of more difficult runs. Adventure-seekers can also grab a seat on the Pinzolo-Campiglio Express gondola, which whisks you to the nearby resort of Madonna di Campiglio, where there are some off-piste areas.
One of Italy's largest ski resorts, Madonna di Campiglio has 100 miles of downhill pistes on 51 individual tracks, plus 20 miles of cross-country trails. Campiglio is also part of the greater Skirama Dolomiti Adamello-Brenta area, giving visitors access to eight Alpine ski resorts and over 200 miles of slopes.
