If you take a direct flight to Italy from Doha, you have 2 alternatives: you land in Milano and then you need to rent a car, either to go west or east (both cases about two hours to reach final destination)or Rome, and then domestic flight to Torino (east) or Verona (west)and you are quite close to the mountains (again you have to arrange for transportation from airports to hotels,unless you agree on a package with the resort you choose, in this case they will pick you up at the arrival).Since you have children, maybe the suitable places are Bardonecchia (valle di Susa),or Gressoney (valle d'Aosta)both in Torino's area,or Val Gardena (verona);if you really want to go skiing,with real snow, I suggest you check in advance: you know, nowdays snow comes at heaster time, and you might be disappointed not to find any at christmas!!Let me know

You gave me many places to follow up, do you have an opinion regarding the best place for 3 children at the age of 3-8?

Where is the nearest airport?

Hi Victoria, of course you think about Alps, and I'm italian (sicilian but with a house in Piemonte, Torino, at the foot of beautyfull mountains;Torino hosted the last winter olimpics), then you can search through internet the following locations:Monte Bianco,Bardonecchia,Salice,Monginevro,Limone,or Valle d'Aosta region with Pila, Cervinia,Monte Rosa all on the north west side; or go to Dolomiti Alps, east, above Veneto with Cortina (trendy & quite expensive but unique),Bolzano, Val Gardena,Misurina,Lavaredo.

I hope you will go, enjoy!!
