While many are attracted to the coastal areas of Italy for her beaches, sun, fun, and excitement or the major cities for their endless list of things to see and do and cosmopolitan delights or the countryside for peace, privacy, and relaxation, there is another major and popular kind of holiday destination: the mountains. And though there are mountainous areas throughout the country, the Alpine region that stretches in a band across the most northern part of Italy is the most popular among them. Here you get hearty comfort food, snowy winter wonderlands, excellent Christmas markets, long ski seasons, that chalet lifestyle, and all sorts of winter fun. However, during the warmer months, the mountains also make for an excellent holiday destination as they boast wonderfully fresh air, incredible views and surroundings, great hiking options, water sports on the mountain lakes, and lots of different outdoor pursuits. If you like your vacations active, wholesome, healthy, and scenic, this is the type of destination for you.
