The first months of the year in Europe are synonymous with snow and winter holidays! The best ski destinations come alive with travelers ready to discover wonderful landscapes and have fun on the slopes! The best way to enjoy a winter stay in comfort is definitely to rent an SUV! Renting an SUV in Italy for a winter holiday in the Alps means being free to reach Italy comfortably by plane and then having the freedom to move independently by car.

An SUV is the best choice because it combines safety and high driving performance with convenience for luggage and the comfort of the whole family! If you have decided to rent an SUV in Italy for your winter holiday but have not yet decided on your destination; today we leave you two destinations from which to be inspired by two opposite ends of the Alps!

Cortina d'Ampezzo has always been nicknamed "The Pearl of the Dolomites" as it is located within a valley of absolutely breathtaking mountains!

Cortina d'Ampezzo enjoys an excellent modern and functional ski area that manages to bring skiers closer to the beauty of high mountains! Cortina has always been synonymous with elegance and refinement and is one of the most exclusive winter destinations in the entire Alpine region. Elegant hotels, gourmet restaurants and luxury shops populate its historic centre, creating endless possibilities for activities and entertainment, even for non-skiers.

Rent an SUV for a holiday in Courmayeur 

Positioned exactly on the other side of the Alps; Courmayeur is another mountain pearl whose environmental charm is combined with an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. Courmayeur is located not far from the French border on Mont Blanc: the highest mountain in Europe! The French influence is perceived in the language, in the refined environment and by tourists coming from all over Europe who populate its slopes, but Courmayeur has managed to maintain its original identity as a border town set among the beauties of the Alps!
