Mountains hotels, itineraries and travel ideas.

Italy's mountains are spread out among two main ranges, the Alps to the north and the Apennines which run southwards through the peninsula.

Some 28 percent of the entire territory of the Alps is in northern Italy. The Alps and the famous Dolomites have immense tourist appeal all year round; their slopes are an established favorite with skiers and mountaineers. The southern-most region of Sicily is home to Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano. The nature reserves and parks which are the natural habitat of numerous plant and animal species, provide the perfect holiday destination for nature lovers and families alike.
