Skiing in Abruzzo
Imagine skiing under the Italian sun, clear blue skies with a distant view of the sea.
Abruzzo has 15 ski resorts with 368 km of runs in 172 different ski tracks, all within a couple of hours drive from Rome.
Because of their proximity to the Adriatic and winter precipitation patterns, they often have more snow than the Alps.
The most popular resorts are Roccaraso, Campo Felice, Campo Imperatore. Located on the highest altitudes of the Apennines, these ski areas are at heights nearly comparable to many resorts in the Alps.
Abruzzo also is popular for cross country skiing, especially on the high plain of Campo Imperatore in the Gran Sasso as well as the Piana Grande in the Majella.
After you ski, try la polenta, hot chocolate and if you fancy something alcoholic hot punch (a liquore). After your ski, drive for an hour and dip you toes in the Adriatic sea.
