Val di Sole ski holidays - not many people outside of Italy have heard of the Val di Sole but this is slowly changing as word gets out just how good a place this is to visit anytime of year. Val di Sole is within the Brenta Dolomites between Lake Garda and South Tyrol and surrounded by the National Park of the Stelvio and the Nature Park Adamello Brenta.

Things to see and do

• For exploring some nearby ski resorts and don't fancy driving, you can take the Pinzolo-Campiglio Express gondola lift to Pinzolo. From there, you can right across the 4 valleys
• Take a trip to Val Genova which is the entrance to the Adamello Brenta Natural Park. It is full of amazing waterfalls such as Nardis and Lares which are fed by the glaciers on the Adamello-Presanella mountains
• Madonna di Campiglio is definitely worth a visit if only to sip expresso and people watch. A chic resort of the same pedigree as Cortina
• In summer, take a drive up to Passo Tonale where the scenery is stunning and perhaps go skiing on the glacier
