Looking for recommendations of resort and accommodation in the Italian Alps similar to Morzine. We have been and loved it, using the lifts, pool, activities etc but would like to go to Italy but struggling to find similar resorts or companies offering catered chalets and activities. Looking for 2023 with 11 and 12 year old active children. Many thanks.

In general the set up in Italy is different from France and to a lesser extent Switzerland with very few chalets and less organised resorts. You're more likely looking at hotels / self catering apartment.
Of places I have been too Courmayeur and the Dolomites both have lifts open for hiking and MTB trails and there is also white water rafting close by. The dolomites are also close Lake Garda and Verona with lots on offer and have stunning scenery.

Cervinia in the summer is pretty bleak and feel very out of season only spent a few hours there but has glacier skiing.
I haven't been but Bardoneccia is looking to have more of a summer tourist trade and is a regular Italian town with a fair year round population.
Sestriere is possibly most like French resorts as a purpose built villagio. It may be worth look at what they can offer.
Good luck.

So not what you asked but have you considered Austria? Zell am See, Alpbach...you would be looking at mostly self catered or hotel as well but plenty of activities
