If you stay at the Hotel Alto Adige, which is located in the region of Trentino Alto Adige in Italy, you'll find yourself in a unique part of the country. In fact, many tourists would consider that Alto Adige is one of the least Italian areas, but that does not mean that the place is not worthwhile. Instead, it makes Alto Adige special, as it is located on the northeaster border of Italy, and it is very close to the country of Austria. This makes Alto Adige a great place to pass by especially if you are travelling from the south of Austria.

The region of Alto Adige offers spectactular sceneries, including alpine meadows, sparkling waterfalls and mountains with snow capped peaks. The high altitude of Alto Adige and the cool temperatures means that there are also popular ski resorts that tourists can enjoy there. The winter season is the ideal time to go skiing or snowboarding at Alto Adige. Although, the summer months also offer fun activities for tourists. There are medieval towns as well as marked trails for people to go hiking and exploring. All of these activities can usually be organized by your accomodation, and you can check out http://www.feldmilla.com/en/ for more information about a place to stay.

Ski resorts are a great place to be. If you enjoy being in the snow or prefer cold weather, then skiing can be an ideal activity. Many travelers in fact ski on their trip and plan vacations just to ski and enjoy the snow. There are many for example, Austria ski resorts that have become very popular.

Some Austria ski resorts are offering free education for kids ahead of the winter season. Tirol Schwaz, for example, is offering basic downhill skiing courses for children of all ages in a bid to attract more families to the resort. Schwaz is continuing this tradition from years past, and it is not alone as other Austria ski resorts are offering similar promotions this year.

Throughout the Silberregion Karwendel area, there are many resorts offering free skiing lessons for kids including Kolsassberg, Buch, Gallzain and more. The lessons will begin on December 17, 2011 and will be extended through March 17 of 2012, but no lessons will be offered during the Christmas holidays. Children ages 4 to 12 whose families are staying at one of the Austrian ski resorts for at least one week can take advantage of the free lessons. The lessons include all necessary ski equipment and use of the lifts.

Many parents assume that ski resorts are a risky place to take their kids on vacation. The thought of skiers whooshing past at break neck speed, high ski lifts, crazy snow boarders and freezing temperatures can be scary, but with some preparation a family can enjoy an exciting skiing holiday together with no hassles.

It's important to find the best ski resorts and ensure that they offer plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. If you have young children you should check that the resort has a creche or babysitting facilities before booking. Families should consider going to a dry ski slope before the trip to get a little practice in. Also, make sure to get the right clothes for everyone. Wearing layers is very important, and the top layer should always be waterproof to ensure no wet bottoms if there are any falls.
