Hi Victoria, of course you think about Alps, and I'm italian (sicilian but with a house in Piemonte, Torino, at the foot of beautyfull mountains;Torino hosted the last winter olimpics), then you can search through internet the following locations:Monte Bianco,Bardonecchia,Salice,Monginevro,Limone,or Valle d'Aosta region with Pila, Cervinia,Monte Rosa all on the north west side; or go to Dolomiti Alps, east, above Veneto with Cortina (trendy & quite expensive but unique),Bolzano, Val Gardena,Misurina,Lavaredo.
I hope you will go, enjoy!!
