50 km of ski pistes, which are maintained by high-tech snow-making machines that guarantee sublime conditions. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a family with young children, Aprica has it covered.
Families with young children and novices will want to spend their time in Campetti – it’s the go-to spot with beginners’ ski lifts and magic carpets.

the ‘Benedetti’ in Palabione is experts-only; while the
