With in-resort discounts for arriving by train, and direct connections to Paris via the "red arrow" Frecciarossa high speed train, Via Lattea has quickly and quietly become the Alps' best destination to ski-by-train.
Via Lattea – translated from Italian as “Milky Way” – is a collection of ski resorts in the southwestern Italian Alps that has been quietly building a reputation for itself over the previous few seasons. Between an array of 400km of pistes and excellent Italian hospitality, Olympic pedigree and easy access from nearby Turin, it now stands tall amongst the other mega-resorts of the Alps as a must-visit destination.
But there’s another feather in Via Lattea’s cap that has so far flown under the radar; just how brilliant it is to reach and ski by train. Direct connections to the Italian railway network at Oulx station serve nearby Turin and destinations as far away as Paris and Rome, providing really easy access from across Europe.
More than that, however, Via Lattea provides incentives via savings on lift pass prices that can make a huge impact on the cost of your ski holiday. Between the massive range of skiing available, the easy access to the resort, and the incentives available, Via Lattea is easily one of the Alps’ best resorts to ski by train.
