Ski resort in Abruzzo. Before booking, take a close look at the different areas: accommodation near the lift saves time, while quieter locations often require a transfer or a car. If you’re travelling with children or planning a stay of several days, also consider ski schools, equipment hire and places to take a break off the slopes.

Depending on when you travel and your ability, Roccaraso–Rivisondoli, Campo Felice, Campo Imperatore, Terminillo, Abetone–Val di Luce or Monte Cimone may also be a better fit. Comparing resorts across Abruzzo and the Apennines highlights differences in size, terrain and atmosphere.

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

If you’re staying for several days, you can choose accommodation that also gives you access to other destinations in Abruzzo and the Apennines. The Italy overview can help you weigh up the region, journey and type of trip.
