What Makes Settimana Bianca Special?

Settimana Bianca, or white week, is an Italian tradition that brings people together to celebrate the best of the winter season. Settimana Bianca is considered an important social event in Italy, where people take advantage of their free time by taking part in activities such as skiing or visiting local attractions. The ski season in Italy lasts from December through to the end of March, although the majority of people opt to take their Settimana Bianca in January and February.

During Settimana Bianca, many families go on holiday in Northern Italy to ski, particularly to areas such as the stunning Dolomites and Alps. Many resorts take advantage of the increased tourism by offering discounted prices for those who wish to enjoy skiing or snowboarding while on holiday. This makes it even easier for families and friends to enjoy winter-season activities.

While on holiday, people spend their days skiing or snowboarding, soaking up the sunshine, indulging in delicious Italian dishes and drinking wine at the ski lodge. Vin Brulé is a traditional favourite, served warm– perfect for warming up after a few hours on the slopes. There is also plenty of opportunity to relax in a spa, before having dinner at your chalet or a restaurant.
