Ovindoli is the largest ski area in the Marsica: twenty-one runs over thirty kilometres. In the evening you come back to a house with a kitchen.
The resorts
The largest ski area in the Marsica. Eleven lifts, including an eight-seat gondola, two six-seat chairlifts and three three-seaters. Snowmaking covers much of the terrain. Ski school and rental are at the base. In summer it turns into a bike park.
Wide sunny runs on the Altopiano delle Rocche, busy at weekends with visitors up from Rome. A link to Monte Magnola has been planned for years and is not yet running.
The lifts have been closed for years: there is no piste skiing here. What remains is a beech wood at 1,400 m, excellent for winter snowshoeing and for sledging on the meadows with children.
Opening dates depend on the snow and are announced by the resorts. Check before you set off.
