#8: Moena

Moena is an Italian ski resort perfect for weekend ski trips. It's near an airport, easily accessed, and branches to other skiing locations in Italy, all of which complement its fifty eight ski lifts and awesome peaks.

Moena is also a charming area in its own right, making it an ideal location for any holiday. It's an excellent base of operations for a join skiing and traveling holiday, as the ski trails cover about 500 km of intermediate alpine tracks.

Moena joins up to the skiing villages of Alba, Canazei, and Campitello. It also connects to the very attractive and quaint holiday areas of Pozza di Fassa and Viggo, both of which are rich in culture, history, and heritage. They also have small ski areas of their own, creating a much more intimate skiing experience than, say, St. Moritz.

Moena isn't for everyone, but if you're into a holiday that combines skiing, exploring quaint rural villages, and enjoying the great outdoors as opposed to wild parties, you'll have a great time in Moena, Italy.
