About Amphitheatre of the Alps
Skiing the amphitheatre is all about the mix of culture with snow. Out in the wilds of the mountains by day and in a civilised urban environment by night. The resorts are typically Italian, with style and great food. The roads are good and the distances not so great that it is not possible to explore a little.
From Aosta the first gondola of the day does not leave from a small old village, or a new purpose built one, but from the centre of the city, filled with all the history, art, culture and life that you might expect from an old Roman town. 18 minutes in a gondola from the centre of town and you are on the slopes of Pila.
Located throughout the beautiful Aosta Valley this area is home to some of the most exceptional medium sized ski resorts in the Alps. From the glamorous high altitude of Cervinia through to the freeride rustic centre of Alagna and the bustling town of Courmayeur there is something for everyone.

What makes Amphitheatre of the Alps Unique?
History, ruins, churches, castles
The Aosta Valley, a pivotal route in history, is adorned with a myriad of churches, castles, and ancient ruins, showcasing the rich tapestry of its past. For history enthusiasts, this abundance of Roman remains and grand structures offers a captivating journey through time. Whether you're a history buff or simply seeking the beauty of snow-covered landscapes, the valley provides a captivating and enriching travel experience.
Center of the slow food movement
Aosta is a city at the crossroads between different cultures, but obviously now the Italian dominates. Nevertheless the local food owes something to the neighbours. This is still a winter cuisine but not as heavy as the traditional French and Swiss mountain dishes. Expect to enjoy hearty ragus of game alongside fine cheeses, pasta dishes and of course Pizza. A truly great place to enjoy creamy Gnocchi and risotto dishes.
Cervinia, height and lift linked to Zermatt
Cervinia gives this region one of the most snow sure resorts in Europe. A truly excellent place to enjoy early and late season skiing, safe in the knowledge there will be plenty to do. The resort is good for intermediates and beginners but the true experts need not worry as there is a link to ski Zermatt.
