Bolzano, Italy

Charter a private flight from or to Bolzano with BLAK Private Jets

Wedged into a big valley basin at the crossroads between the Dolomites and the Adamello Alps, Bolzano is one of the jewels in the crown of northern Italy. Pastel-painted homes and proud plazas adorned with majestic Habsburg-era creations are the names of the game here. There's hardly any need to introduce the world-class ski fields that lurk on the doorstep – Val Gardena, Ortisei, Cortina d'Ampezzo.

But back to Bolzano itself. A cocktail of the Austrian and the Italian, it's a place where you can glug frothy beers or taste sweet South Tyrolean wines; somewhere for sampling Alto Adige olive oils and stocking up on the season's latest ski wear. If we had to pick one standout attraction, it would be the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, which hosts the strange mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman – some 5,900 years old, no less!

Of course, most folks look to private charter flights to Bolzano because of where it is. The town's one of the best-placed gateways to the Italian Dolomites. They begin in earnest to the east. It's a land of adventure and luxury rolled into one, touting the endless runs of the Sella Ronda ski circuit next to luxe alpine spa hotels and opulent hunting lodges in the hills.
