Snowhawks returns to Italy,

March 16-24, 2024

Stay at Club Med Pragelato/ Explore Sestriere and the giant Via Lattea ski domain.

Welcome to Snowhawks Italy ski trip 2024

Join Harvey and Mitch as the annual Snowhawks spring trip returns to Italy, this time to explore the vast Via Lattea ski domain, encompassing 400 km of interconnected terrain across such classic resorts as Sestriere, Sauze D’Oulx, Cesana, Claviere, Montgenevre (in France) and of course the lovely Pragelato, where you’ll be based for the duration of your stay in an all-inclusive resort, nestled in the mountains.

Based in the Club Med village of chalet accommodations, you will enjoy the beautiful wood finished rooms and the balconies looking out onto the surrounding unspoiled mountain landscape. Meals are served in a choice of three restaurants, each serving foods with a local flavour. Return to the resort for the mid-day meal or you may take lunch up at the Casa Mollino, enjoying the view from 2,300 meters.

Choose to lose yourself in a network of groomed trails and off-piste treats in the Via Lattea, or take advantage of the group lessons or guided skiing in groups at all levels, from Monday through Friday… It’s all included!

And best of all, as many have for decades, enjoy the ambiance of a Snowhawks group ski trip, with friends old and new…
