Peter helped me organise a custom self guided 2 week cross country and down hill ski tour in the Dolomites for January 2026. He was transparent about his costs (which were very reasonable) and all the information he provided was enormously helpful to me. He was prompt in reply to my questions, and altogether made the organisation of this trip a pleasure.
A Nordic Skiing Experience To Remember
It was such an awesome experience to ski cross country in some of the finest skiing locations in the world. Plus the trip was amazingly well run and flexible enough to suit everyone’s needs. That’s why I’m booked to do it all again next year.
Thanks Steve. We're thrilled you enjoyed the trip, the stunning scenery, and the well-maintained ski trails. Your kind words mean a lot and I look forward to our trip in 2026.

Led by a very organised and knowledgeable guide, this trip was perfect for us. Skiing was great and we were able to do as little or as much as we liked. Peter selected a lovely range of restaurants and comfortable and varied accomodation. Saving for '27
Thanks for your review. And see you in 27, I hope. Pete

A ski holiday with Nordic Ski Adventures is the perfect way to truly experience the beauty of the Italian Alps. Pete expertly guided our family group of varying XC ski abilities ensuring that we each got the most out of our trip in and around Cogne. His experience and expertise on the trails meant we all came away better skiers than we started, and his discerning choice of ski trails during the day, restaurants in the evenings, and boutique accommodation meant all bases were covered – gorgeous scenery, fantastic food and wines, and a cosy place to relax at the end of the day. Our week flew by, and we were all sad when it was time to leave. I highly recommend Nordic Ski Adventures for a perfect Italian skiing experience. Grazie mille Pete!

Hi Berthine, thanks so much for your review. Glad you all had a great time.

Peter was an exceptional cross country skiing teacher. He was very patient with novices, knew their strengths, limitations, and ability and taught really well accordingly. He would explain instructions one step at a time and made it easy to understand. He was always happy to clarify more if needed. Peter was super supportive of me and others when working was us. Whenever we would achieve something or make an improvement, regardless of how big, he would congratulate us. This was very motivating and really made us want to keep trying and further improve our ability. He really had time for each and every one of us. He was always interested in and asked us about our lives in general which was the icing on the cake of our time working under Peter. I highly recommend Peter and hope our paths cross again soon, especially in cross country skiing.
Thank you Peter!!!
From David
Highly recommend - incredible trip.
This is not your standard follow the leader type tour. Every day (including travel days) there was an opportunity to ski and Pete ensured that, despite a very mixed bunch, every ability and energy level had an ideal experience. Each day delivered ideal options for every mood, skiing alone, with the group, as much coaching as you want or an amazing nice sight see. You get to truly experience the best of Italy's sights, food and skiing without having to organise a thing - just show up. Can't recommend highly enough and will be back
I cannot recommend Nordic Ski Adventures highly enough. We were a small group of 6 XC skiers, most of whom had never met, with varying levels of expertise (from beginners to advanced), aged from 40 to early 70. Pete, an expert XC skier himself, managed to provide bespoke skiing experience to us all, including some ski lessons. The entire trip was excellent and super-well organised. Pete provided us all with a wonderful holiday, great skiing locations, excellent accommodation, food, and all kinds of assistance, including some walking routes when a shoulder injury stopped me from skiing for a few days. Pete is very knowledgeable, and knows his way around this part of the world. Going on one of these trips is a wonderful opportunity to ski to your hearts' content, ski in the company of others or alone (whatever suits) in another and absolutely gorgeous country, without the stress of having to do all the hard work of organising this yourself. The trip was so good, that I am going back for another dose!!!! Thank you so much Pete, I had the best time, (apart from my shoulder injury, which even you, could not have prevented!!). Marietta
Nordic Ski Adventures is the "go to" destination for English speakers wanting a guided XC experience in the beautiful Italian Alps where all the pesky details like travel, trail passes, hotels and eating options are taken care of. Recommended!!
Well run and adapted to suit all abilities. The constant changing of skiing locations kept the wow factor going and I would recommend this company to everyone.
I was not sure how the trip would go but it was the best skiing experience I had. I have been skiing for over 33 years and what Peter offered me was a trip of a lifetime. I would do it again anytime. Thanks Pete
This trip was superb, taking in Italy's most iconic Nordic ski destinations including Livigno and the Dolomites.
It ran very smoothly with Peter providing exceptional guiding and support
Definitely a must do for skinny ski enthusiasts.
Sensational skiing.

My son & I had a great time on the 15-day Italy XC ski trip Jan-Feb 2025. Peter Holmes provided opportunities to ski in varied terrain, always with beautiful scenery. Each evening he clearly outlined the next day's plans. When we were on the trails, he gave us excellent technique advice, leading to great improvements in our skiing performance. We chose to do a day's downhill skiiing at each of Livigno & Val Gardena, which was also excellent. Socially the trip was fun, the accommodation was perfect, and the meals were always tasty.
Sixteen days in the Italian Alps with Nordic Ski Adventures
We had a great time skiing around the Norther Italian Alps with Nordic Ski Adventures. Pete, our guide, took us to amazingly beautiful places with fantastic snow and scenery. We stayed in some delightful boutique hotels and soaked up the food, wine and fascinating culture of the region. In addition, there was the great skiing! Pete’s knowledge of the region and his organisation of our 16 days meant we had a very rewarding experience. Would recommend you take this trip - there was so much to enjoy.
Thanks for your kind words. Hope to see you on the ski trails this winter.

Fantastic skiing in the Dolomites with Peter Holmes - Nordic Ski Adventures.
The trip was fantastic. Everything was smoothly organised and we had nothing to do but enjoy ourselves. The accommodation was comfortable and the local staff were very helpful and friendly. The main reason for the trip was the xc skiing which was even better than expected with freshly groomed trails through spectacular scenery at lots of different interesting locations. Even the weather was great and we hope to get a chance to do it all again some time!
