Kosher Ski Vacations

Kosher ski vacations for families, couples and friends who want the mountains without giving up anything they keep: every meal Glatt Kosher Mehadrin, a packed lunch for the slopes, and Shabbat as a day of rest in the hotel.

The ski week

Our kosher ski vacation, and when it runs

Our kosher ski vacation is a winter stay in Canazei, a ski village in the Dolomites of northern Italy. You ski by day and come back to kosher meals, a synagogue in the hotel and a full Shabbat.

Canazei · the Dolomites

A kosher ski week in Canazei

Canazei sits at the head of the Val di Fassa, beneath the Sella group and the Marmolada, about two hours' drive from Verona and from Venice.

The Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with more than 1,200 kilometers of ski slopes. There is no set timetable: ski as much or as little as you like, and come back to the hotel for afternoon tea and dinner. More on the area, in winter and summer, is in our guides to the Italian Alps and the Dolomites. You stay at the My One Hotel, a fully kosher 4-star hotel in the village, with a sauna and spa, so the evenings are yours.
