The best winter destinations in Italy: discover them behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Urus.

Did you know that about a third of Italy is covered by mountains? If we refer to the elevation zones defined by ISTAT - which consider territory above 600 metres in the north and 700 metres in the centre-south and the islands as mountains - then 35% of the country's surface is mountainous.

The mountains of Italy are divided into two large ranges:

• The chain of the Alps;
• The chain of the Apennines.

These chains form a single large system, with a shape reminiscent of an "S", and occupy all Italian regions, all the way to Sicily. However, a separate discussion is true for Sardinia, where the mountains of the Sardinian-Corsican system are located. This range does not belong to the Alps nor the Apennines.

The highest peaks in Italy are concentrated in the Alps, all abundantly above four thousand metres above sea level, and some touching five thousand metres.

This premise was necessary to say that it is not easy to determine which winter destinations in Italy are best. But we tried and soon we will let you know the Italian winter destinations that we have in mind for you.

Firstly, however, we believe it only right to say that the best way to reach them is to rent a Lamborghini in Italy and, more specifically, to rent a Lamborghini Urus, the SUV of the Sant'Agata Bolognese house, where every surface is designed for aerodynamic efficiency that defines its personality. Inspired by the LM002 and the super sports cars, the new Lamborghini Urus is a Lamborghini in all respects, also thanks to the characteristic relationship between body surfaces (two thirds) and crystals (one third).

The name Urus - as per Lamborghini tradition - comes from the world of bulls: Urus cattle (uri), also known as Aurochs, are among the great wild ancestors of today's breeds. The Spanish bullfighting bull, bred for the past 500 years, still looks very similar to that of the Urus breed.

We can let you find your dream car wherever you prefer: in an airport, city centre, at your home before departure or in the parking lot of the hotel you have chosen for your stay in one of the finest Italian winter destinations. All you have to do is ask and we will satisfy your every need.

One day the prince of Latemar, intrigued by the garden, entered the Kingdom of King Laurino, where he met Ladina, the king's daughter, with whom he fell madly in love and kidnapped. The curse launched by the desperate Laurin then fell on the kingdom: no one could ever see his rose garden, guilty of having revealed the position of the Kingdom, neither by day nor by night.
