Winter activities

150 km of downward slopes, allowing you to unleash your energy and ski on the beautiful mountains of Abruzzo. That of Alto Sangro and that of the Altipiani Maggiore d'Abruzzo are the largest ski areas in the central-southern Italy. Skiing began here more than 100 years ago and fun is always guaranteed thanks to the snowmaking system. The slopes vary in difficulty, to allow everyone - beginners and experts, adults and children - to enjoy this magnificent sport. The Alto Sangro also offers two snow parks, where you can do some snowboarding on the slopes of Vallefura.

At the "G. Bolino" Ice Rink, in the heart of Roccaraso, just 7 minutes by car from the Cipriani Park Hotel, you can enjoy some ice skating or ice hockey: the Olympic skating rink becomes a place for spending time with friends or with your children, dedicated to sport.

There are numerous trails allowing you to discover the territory with snowshoes on your feet or do some Winter Nordic Walking. On the snow, as well as exercise and sport, you can also explore nature, with its beautiful plant life and wildlife.

Today, the historical railway that once linked Abruzzo and Molise is an original way to admire the hinterland, with its national parks, canyons and little villages. The Trans-Siberian railway of Italy departs from Sulmona, crosses Rivisondoli and Pescocostanzo and descends to Castel di Sangro. It then carries on to San Pietro Avellana and Isernia. The snow makes the journey even more magical.

During winter breaks, along with the entertainment staff, we organise excursions and walks in the snow-covered municipalities of Rivisondoli, Roccaraso and Pescocostanzo with tastings of typical local products.
