The slopes
Alto Sangro brings together Aremogna, Pizzalto and Monte Pratello: more than one hundred kilometres of runs between 1,400 metres and the 2,140 metres of Toppe del Tesoro, linked and covered by the Alto Sangro ski pass. There are nursery slopes for beginners, wide runs for intermediates, blacks for thrill-seekers, a snowpark and cross-country loops. Snowmaking helps keep the season going.
Why a home rather than a hotel
On a ski holiday you spend a lot of time indoors: long breakfasts, boots drying, dinners with friends. An entire home gives you a kitchen, space and your own schedule, and often costs less than several hotel rooms.
Getting organised
- Buy your ski pass online on the ski area's official website, where you'll also find the slope report.
- Rentals and ski schools in the village and at the base of the lifts.
- Winter tyres or snow chains on board: they are compulsory on mountain roads in winter.
- Après-ski: arrosticini, chitarra pasta with porcini and mountain sweets. You'll find the restaurants we recommend in our guide.
