Catching plenty of that magnificent Italian sunshine, Prato Nevoso/Artesina also benefits from a great snow record, thanks to its high altitude (the village sits high at 1500m, with skiable piste up to 2300m). In addition to this, 95% of the resort is covered by state-of-the-art snow cannons, meaning that there is plenty of skiing to be had, whatever the weather. If you have any snowboarders in your party, then this is a fantastic choice for your next trip to Italy, as there is a fantastic board park with a half-pipe that is often open well into the evening thanks to being floodlit. There is also a boardercross course. Prato Nevoso was one of the first resorts in Italy to actively encourage snowboarders and today is known as an important destination for boarders. After skiing, there are plenty of activities to keep your group occupied, with ice skating, bowling, sledging, snowshoeing and swimming to name but a few available in the area. You can also enjoy a fantastic pizza night together or indulge in a hot chocolate after a session of bumboarding. Your students will never be bored on a ski trip here!
