In northern Italy, the limestone cliffs, pinnacles and dipping plateaus — once primordial coral reefs that rose from the ocean some 250 million years ago — are so geologically fantastical that the entire region is deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Dolomiti Superski, an area of 12 linked resorts, with 800 miles of terrain and 450 lifts, is all accessible on one pass. Intermediates will love the wide groomers at Val di Fassa, Alta Badia and Cortina, specifically around Olimpia delle Tofane, the site of the 1956 Olympics. But there is plenty of advanced stuff, too. Val Gardena, Kronplatz and Arabba have steep black runs and off-piste options.

Navigating among the mountains and valleys that make up Dolomiti Superski, particularly transfers, can suck valuable time from your holiday. Dolomite Mountains, a local company, can organize the entire trip, from lodging and transfers to ski guides and meals, allowing you to experience multiple resorts in a few days. They can also organize a trip that lets you stay at the rustic inns known as rifugios on the mountains.

Ski Pass: 83 euros or about $87 per day in high season, 75 euros or about $80 during regular season; a seven-day pass is 449 euros in high season and 404 euros in regular season; the Ikon pass is also accepted.

Lunch: The region’s border-shifting heritage is on display in dishes like beetroot-stuffed gnocchi, speck ‎knödel (dumplings) and barley risotto. The cost usually runs from €20 to €40 a person.
Lodging: In Val Gardena, the 46-room Hotel Tyrol has large, welcoming rooms with views of the Sella massif, and indoor and outdoor pools (starting at €220 per person with half board). Hotel La Majun in Alta Badia is a ski-in, ski-out property with 39 sleek rooms, a wine bar and thrilling mountainscape views (starting at €570 with half board).[/quote]
