Ski resorts in Italy will begin to open next week, after spending the first three months of the ski season in lockdown.
With infections in Italy now down to 138 per 100,000, from February 15 resorts will be allowed to reopen, depending on their location, according to the Italian Governmentâs Technical Scientific Committee (CTS).
Italy is currently operating a national tiered system of coronavirus restrictions. It is the resorts in yellow zones that will be allowed to start operations.
This includes the majority of the biggest resorts, as currently 17 of Italyâs 21 regions are classified as yellow: Lombardy, home to Livigno and Bormio; Aosta Valley, home to the likes of Cervinia, Courmayeur, Champoluc and La Thuile; Veneto, where skiers will find Cortina dâAmpezzo and Arabba; and Piedmont, the region home to Sestriere, Sauze dâOulx and Bardonecchia.
