Roccaraso is situated in the south-east of the Costa Calda, on the central route that connects the Centre and the South of Italy. The runs here have something for everyone, with the majority favouring intermediates, while beginners have some good runs to choose from as well. Experts have an excellent choice of black runs and off-pistes.
Due to its altitude, the snow can be unpredictable, but they have an excellent snowmaking system. The town itself is quite modern, due to the extensive damage caused during WWII. Apres Ski in Roccaraso is on the quiet side, with very limited nightlife and non-ski activities. This is a good place for a more relaxed skiing holiday. |
