You wouldn't expect much skiing in Southern Italy, but Sicily's Etna with altitude of over 3,300 meters offers a unique skiing experience in the most peculiar environment.

In Italy, it's not all just about the Alps. You can find some skiing in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna as well. Just check out the maps of Monte Cimone, Abetone, Doganaccia and Cutigliano.

In the Maurienne Valley, between Val Cenis and Orelle, there are two more ski resorts: La Norma and Aussois. They are both on today's map, a not very detailed one, but one that should still improve.

The first one in 2011, together with best wishes, is Val Cenis! Besides Val Cenis Lanslebourg and Val Cenis Lanslevillard, it includes Bonneval-sur-Arc and a nordic ski resort Bessans.

The last update in 2010 brings us not only updated ski resort maps and a dozen of new ones, but also some changes in rendering. Nordic pistes are now colored by their difficulty, and there are some corrections with the American markings. Ski runs in America should now show piste names (depending on the device), and the full version got separate mapsets for Europe and America. They are still in the same installer, though, all together in the full version.

Just skied the other day, just mapped today - Torgnon, a small Italian ski resort sharing with Cervinia the same valley and the view over Matterhorn.

Not a very detailed one, but Tarvisio now has its chance to get some more track logs and soon have its map updated with pistes, too.

Ratschings-Jaufen / Racines-Giovo. And it's all just a single ski resort.

The Swiss canton of Valais (Wallis in German) surely deserves our attention. Zermatt, Verbier and Saas-Fee are already on the list of ski maps, and now the Aletsch Arena joins with its resorts Bettmeralp, Fiescheralp (Fiesch-Eggishorn), Riederalp, Belalp-Blatten-Naters and Brig. Valais

The today's map: Andermatt-Sedrun-Disentis/Mustér. While Andermatt area is covered well, the Sedrun-Disentis part is just a draft.
