Aprica

Italy

Lombardia

Wide, gentle and about as easy-going as Italian skiing gets

Is Aprica right for you?

  • Broad, gentle pistes make it one of the most relaxed choices for beginners and families
  • Good value compared with the bigger-name Lombardy and Dolomites resorts
  • Sunny, south-facing slopes right above the village
  • Well-placed for day trips to Bormio and the Stelvio for more challenging terrain
  • Heads up: The terrain is gentle throughout, so stronger skiers will want to plan a day trip elsewhere for a proper test.

“Aprica is about as easy-going as Italian skiing gets: wide, gentle, sunny pistes right above the village, with good value to match. Best for beginners and families after a relaxed week, with Bormio's tougher terrain within reach for a change of pace."
