When to visit

Visit Italy at any time of the year. With each new season, regions like the Aosta Valley, Courmayeur and the entire Mont Blanc area take on new characteristics—from perfect snowy landscapes for skiing to long summer days on the coast.

Climate

Italy’s climate is temperate, with cold, rainy winters, hot summers and mild intermediate seasons. In the mountain areas of the Italian Alps, such as the Skyway Monte Bianco region, winters are harsher making them ideal for a holiday in the snow.

Language

The official language of Italy is Italian. The language is learned little by little, but the gestures that accompany it are harder to master, making any stay in hotels in Italy an even more authentic experience.

Currency

The euro (€) is the official currency of the European Union. International debit and credit cards are widely accepted in most commercial establishments, including hotels, restaurants and tourist services.
