Settimana Bianca or Ski week or White week is a term in common use that indicates staying in the mountains for a holiday period of approximately seven days in Italy, in which winter sports linked to the presence of snow are normally carried out. Normally the ski holiday begins on a weekend, ends the following weekend (Saturday or Sunday indifferently) and, as a rule, does not include public holidays during the week. The sports most commonly practiced during the white weeks are alpine skiing , Nordic skiing , snowboarding , ski mountaineering , sledging and ice skating ; Ice climbing and hiking can also easily be found.[1] A "settimana bianca" it is often offered to students of various school levels.[2]

All winter tourist resorts that enjoy natural or artificial snow can be considered a ski holiday destination.[3]
Most of the attendances counted by winter tourist resorts on weekdays are due to this custom, much sought after by winter sports practitioners. To advertise accommodation facilities that offer ski weeks and help those who want to organize their own ski week, there are many specialized portals and the term "white week" is very often used as a keyword.[4]
Settimana bianca is also the title of a 2018 song by the Italian musical group Il Pagante , which makes fun of the typical behaviors of people who take this type of holiday.[5]
