Italy’s breathtaking alpine landscape offers an enchanting mix of world-class skiing, authentic culinary delights and natural beauty. For UK skiers, Milan serves as the perfect gateway to reach the Alps, and world-famous ski resorts, promising a winter wonderland for winter sport enthusiasts of all levels.  

Convenient flights from the UK

Milan is the heart of Italy’s ski accessibility, and the perfect destination for UK travellers looking to hit the slopes. British Airways, Ryanair, and easyJet offer frequent direct flights from major UK cities including London, Manchester and Edinburgh to Milan’s three airports. Each airport has its unique advantages:

  • Malpensa Airport: Seamless access to the western Alps, including the renowned resorts of Courmayeur and Cervinia.
  • Linate Airport: Located closer to the city centre, it is ideal for travellers seeking both a cultural and skiing experience.
  • Bergamo Airport: Provides quick routes to the Dolomites, such as Madonna di Campiglio and Val di Fassa.

This range of flight options offers triple flexibility, catering to both budget-conscious travellers and those seeking premium experiences.

Milan: Gateway to the Italian Alps

Italy’s alpine region boasts some of Europe’s best ski resorts, all easily accessible from Milan:

  • Madesimo – 90-minute transfer from Milan Malpensa or Milan Linate: Nestled near the Swiss border, Madesimo offers reliable snowfall and a mix of slopes for all skill levels. Perfect for a quick getaway, this piece of heaven holds a serene atmosphere with stunning alpine views.
  • Courmayeur – 120-minute transfer from Milan Malpensa: At the foot of Mont Blanc, Courmayeur is a chic resort known for its well-groomed slopes, stunning views and gourmet dining. It is certainly a favourite amongst intermediate skiers and those seeking a touch of luxury on and off the slopes.
  • Livigno – 150-minute transfer from Milan Bergamo: Known as ‘Little Tibet’, Livigno is a high-altitude resort offering gorgeous snow, coveted après-ski and tax-free shopping. It’s a perfect choice for families and groups seeking a wide range of ski terrain and a vibrant atmosphere.
  • Madonna di Campiglio – 160-minute transfer from Milan Bergamo: This prestigious resort in the Brenta Dolomites is ideal for skiers of all levels, with pristine pistes and modern lifts. Madonna di Campiglio combines natural beauty with Italian elegance, making it a standout choice for winter sports enthusiasts.

With Milan’s three airports at your doorstep, it is as effortless to get to Italy’s world of alpine beauty and towering plates of spaghetti as it is to fly along the powdery slopes to your favourite après-ski spot.
