Hotels are the most popular accommodation in Italy’s ski resorts. Often they cost less than hotels in other European resorts, without compromising on perks like bars, pools, central locations and stonking good food. Chalets and apartments are less common but still available if you prefer smaller accommodation.

Hotel Adler in Ortesei is incredible. This place has thought of everything when it comes to creating perfect spaces to relax and unwind – cosy fireplaces to read beside, reclining loungers with Dolomite views, fine-dining restaurants for feasting on Italian cuisine and some of the best spa facilities in Europe.

Our favourite traditional ski chalet in Italy is Chalet Soldanella in Selva which offers great value in this incredible ski area. For something different, try Club Med Pragelato. You'll get the popular Club Med all-inclusive package with accommodations in charming little chalets, rather than the usual large hotel blocks. There's an indoor pool (shared with other guests), family restaurant (plus a formal dining room) and a lively bar.

Resorts that tend to have the longest seasons are Cervinia - open until early May, and then summer skiing on the Matterhorn opens from June and Livigno (open until early May).

Yes - Italy’s ski resorts are well set up for international visitors. You’ll find English speaking staff in hotels, restaurants, shops, ski schools and more. Our chalet package holidays largely attract British guests if you want to be able to socialise in English.

In most Italian resorts people will speak at least a little bit of English, but you could learn a few Italian basics like:

• Hello - ciao [pronounce: chow]
• Goodbye - addio [pronounce: add-e-o]
• Yes - si [pronounce: see]
• No - non [pronounce: non]
• Please - per favore [pronounce: per-fav-or-ay]
• Thank you - grazie [pronounce: gra-zee]
• Sorry/Excuse me - mi scuzi [pronounce: me-sku-zee]
