Why choose this resort?

The village of Aprica has a very convenient resort layout ideal for both coach and air groups offering plenty to do on and off the slopes. With an enviable snow record, a great range of skiing for all abilities and a lively Italian atmosphere, school ski trips to Aprica are extremely popular on the UK market. Situated at 1181m with skiing up to 2361m, lift access to the pistes is found at three points offering both an extensive nursery area and a wide variety of well-prepared runs. Intermediates can take the chair and bubble lifts to the mid-station at Malga Palabione from where there are two gentle blue runs back down to the village.

On the slopes

The fabulous resort of Aprica is accessed by either a gondola or a chairlift from near the village centre which rises up to Malga Palaboine. From here, a variety of easy and intermediate runs descend back down through the trees to the village. The Superpanoramica run is popular with novice skiers descending over six kilometres. Alternatively, a succession of lifts takes skiers to the top of the lifts at Dosso Paso accessing steeper, open snow fields above the tree line. The runs down all vary but are ideal for Skibound groups who want to challenge themselves. Skiing the 2.3km long Benedetti black run is the perfect way to finish the week, descending a full vertical kilometre back down to the village.
