One of the more unusual ideas I have come across and actually also tried myself is Skiing in Sicily.
The thing about Skiing in Sicily is that it is great if you are looking more for somewhere unusual to ski rather than if you are looking for the best possible skiing. The truth be told, if you want great skiing the likes of Switzerland, French Alps and Italian Alps, Colorado (USA) etc are all better!
If what you are interested in though is the:
- Chance to Ski part of a volcano
- Mixed with great food and wines
- With the chance to see other Sicilian towns such as Taormina
then Sicily can be perfect. Skiing dates subject to change are 1st Jan through to March.
You can get more information from the Catania Tourism office at: +39 095 7306 222 / 233 / 279. You can also check flights to Sicily. Sicily and Venice accommodation can also be booked online.
