Italian winter vocabulary and snow related words

Last Modified: December 12, 2020

Since winter is finally here, I thought it was a good idea to list some Italian winter vocabulary and snow related words. I’ll write this article in Italian first and then in English.

Ready to learn some Italian winter vocabulary? Let’s start.

Condizioni meteo

L’inverno in Italia, di solito, è freddo, specialmente nelle regioni del nord. E’ così freddo che quando piove e la temperatura è molto bassa, si forma del ghiaccio sulle strade. In questi casi, diciamo che ha fatto una gelata o ha/è gelato.

Un’altra cosa che può succedere in inverno in Italia è una nevicata. Quando i fiocchi di neve cadono, imbiancano il paesaggio.

Weather conditions

Winter in Italy is usually cold, especially in the Northern regions. So much so that when it rains and the temperature is really low, ice will form on streets. In these cases, we say that it froze overnight.

Another thing that may happen during Winter in Italy is a snowfall. When snowflakes fall down, they blanket the landscape.

Sulle strade e alla guida

Quando nevica, vengono usati degli spazzaneve per pulire le strade dalla neve. In aggiunta, vengono usati dei mezzi spargisale per spargere il sale per prevenire la formazione di ghiaccio sulle strade.

Se dovete mettervi in viaggio, è importante avere gli pneumatici invernali o le catene. Inoltre, se il parabrezza è ghiacciato, potreste aver bisogno di un raschietto per il ghiaccio per grattare via il ghiaccio.

Roads and driving

When it snows, snowplows are used to clean roads from the snow. In addition, salt tracks are used to spread salt on the roads to prevent ice formation.

If you have to drive, it’s important you have either winter tyres or snow chains with you. Moreover, if your windshield has ice on it, you might need an ice scraper to scrape it.

Sport invernali

Se vi piacciono gli sport invernali, potete andare a pattinare, sciare o a fare snowboard. Ci sono molti impianti sciistici in Italia, per esempio a Madonna di Campiglio, Val Gardena, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Val di Fassa, ecc.

Se non avete gli sci, potete noleggiarli sul posto, insieme alle racchette, agli scarponi e allo snowboard.

Se per caso vivete vicino a una collina e avete dei bambini, potete andarci e divertirvi con lo slittino.

In ogni caso, ricordatevi sempre di indossare un intimo termico, una giacca a vento, dei pantaloni impermeabili e dei guanti.

Winter sports

If you like winter sports, in winter you can go skating, skiing or snowboarding. There are many ski lifts in Italy, for example in Madonna di Campiglio, Val Gardena, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Val di Fassa, etc.

If you don’t have skis, you can hire them once you’re there, together with poles, boots, and snowboard.

If you happen to have a hill not far away from home and have children, you can go there and have fun with the sled.

In any case just remember to wear thermal underwear, ski jacket, waterproof pants and gloves.
