Abruzzo’s lifts stand out because they lie much further south than those in the Italian Alps. That advantage often means a ski season running into March or April, when lifts further north have already closed.
The operator plans around the Apennine climate: temperature swings are less harsh, but sudden snowfalls can call for quick work to keep the slopes open.
The lift is part of the Roccaraso ski area: the resort page has the slopes, the weather and practical information for your day on the snow.
