Getting there and planning your days

For a winter trip, the final approach, parking and the possible need for snow chains are just as important as choosing a lift pass. Check the latest weather updates and lift operations before setting off, as wind, fresh snow or individual closed connections can change your plans for the day.

If you are staying for several days, you can choose accommodation that also makes other destinations in Abruzzo and the Apennines accessible. The Italy overview can help you weigh up the region, journey and type of trip you have in mind.
