Vialattea – which some skiers may know better as the ‘Milky Way’ is offering skiers and snowboarders a discount on their lift passes if they travel by train.
The ski area has extended their partnership with Trenitalia as part of their commitment to sustainable tourism.
Travelling by train is a great way to reduce the carbon emissions associated with your ski holiday. Even if you fly, taking a transfer by train instead of hiring a car will still make a difference.
