Italy | _ | | _ | | | If you want to blend in with the Italians, there's only one way to explore the Dolomiti Superski, a massive interconnected 460-lift system with 762 miles of trails.
Wake up late, ski to one of literally hundreds of restaurants, eat a huge lunch, wash it down with some wine, then lie in the sun and take a nap until four o'clock in the afternoon when everyone heads down to the disco. Just beware of the grappa bars that serve Italy's version of tequila, and the Italians who have been drinking there.

The slopes are reached by two cable cars and a gondola that stretches across the valley; it's a short return to town by bus. With views of Mont Blanc, the scenery can't be beat.
