I will be in N.Italy for near 6 months. I was hoping someone might have some suggestions for weekend trips, and must do things while im there. thanks in advance

Eric, where will you be specifically, and what do you like to do? Culture, active outdoors, countryside, wine and food. If you can be more specific, I believe I can offer some suggestions.

Eric, the first thing I'd do if I were you is to research Northern Italy by buying some guidebooks and get familiar with where you'll be living. Many books feature weekend trip suggestions and activities.

i will be in or near torino for the majority of my time in italy. i like the outdoors, and would definately like to do some sight seeing. i would like to do some skiing, however would i have to go into switzerland for this? and i would definately like to do some bargain shopping somewhere., any tips are appreciated.<BR>again thanks for the help

No need to go to Switzerland remember the next winter oliympics will be in and around Torino.
