Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.South Tyrol is Italy’s most northerly province. Its breathtaking, mountain-dominated vistas are home to the jaw-droppingly pretty UNESCO-listed Dolomites - and oodles of great skiing.
Full of quaint but hip Alpine-Mediterranean towns and villages, from the provincial capital Bolzano to the spa town Merano, not forgetting the rather swanky Alta Badia valley, which can pull in the likes of George Clooney, Elle Macpherson and Tom Cruise.
Home to eighty 3,000m peaks, as well as the Dolomiti Superski and Ortler Skiarena, South Tyrol is every winter sport enthusiast’s dream resort. It boasts 300 days of sunshine per year, perfectly groomed ski runs and majestic mountain scenery.
There are excellent downhill and cross-country options for skiers and snowboarders of all levels, and for less experienced snow bunnies, South Tyrol has 63 ski schools. After a day on the slopes, skiers and snowboarders can enjoy après ski fun in cosy log huts or drop in at events organised on and off the slopes. With only two per cent of visitors coming from the UK, South Tyrol is a secret ski spot, waiting to be discovered, so this is definitely the place to come to escape crowded slopes and lift queues.
