French ski enthusiasts often ski Aosta Valley ski area, or at least part of it. La Thuile is linked with the French resort of La Rosiere, so a visit to either resort will open up both the Aosta Valley and L'Espace San Bernardo ski areas.
If you ski Aosta Valley you'll find that La Thuile is an interesting mix of a traditional mountain village and a modern ski complex. 150km of pistes, divided well between the different ability levels, await visitors here. There are also terrain parks for snowboarders and cross country skiing, with 300 snow cannons ensuring the whole ski area is covered if needed.
Skiing and snowboarding in Abruzzo includes the national park resort of Pescasseroli, a popular hotspot, with 14 runs covering all ability levels, and snowshoe excursions available. Elsewhere there is the resort of Roccaraso, one of the largest in the ski Abruzzo region. Here there are a small number of nursery slopes, an equal number of blue and red runs (28), and around 10 blacks, covering over 100km of pistes. Other large ski resorts include Campo Felice and Campo Imperatore.
All the best things come in small packages, so you're sure to enjoy the smaller number of runs surrounding the other resorts in Abruzzo as well, such as Prati Di Tivo, Majelleta, and Campo D Giove. Beginners and Intermediate skiers are especially well catered for.
Off the slopes, Abruzzo is a region with a fascinating history, including some of the best examples of medieval hill towns in Italy.
