Abruzzo Region
If you're looking to ski the heart of Italy the Abruzzo Region is the perfect target. Along with offering a world-class unspoiled skiing venue it has breath-taking scenery, Roman ruins, monasteries, medieval castles, charming villages and snowfall that rival the Alpine ski areas. This region provides 29 lifts and two cable cars to access the 65 runs. Being in the poorer section of Italy makes Abruzzo an excellent bargain for tourists. Since a large portion of the Abruzzo Region is designated regional or national parkland, the best way to tour the area is by car.
