Roccaraso is Italy’s fifth biggest ski area with over 100 km of linked runs and 700m vertical drop. With three nearby airports – Naples, Pescara and Rome.

It has been popular with Italian skiers for many years, Abruzzo offers a genuine Italian skiing experience as yet untouched by mass tourism.

Very few British skiers have heard of it, yet alone been there.

It has an average of 3.5m of snow each winter, with a ski season that lasts from December until April.

“Skiers looking for modern ski lifts, well-groomed pistes, abundant snowfall backed up with comprehensive snowmaking, family-run hotels with tasty Italian food and very competitive prices should consider Abruzzo for their next holiday on the slopes,” said Graeme Spratley from SkiAbruzzo.com

The notion of lengthy queues and jostling to get on a skilift is almost unheard of in Abruzzo and the price of a lift pass is very competitive.

A five days pass, high season in Roccaraso is roughly £215, with reductions for children and seniors.

Getting to the slopes is easy – SkiAbruzzo.com’s programme includes ski-to-the-door hotels and several others that offer complimentary door-to-door ski shuttle services for guests.

Half term holidays to the Roccaraso area have become more popular with each year as the word gets around that prices in Abruzzo are not inflated at all for the February half term week.

For example, a family of four can stay for 6 nights at the Grand Hotel Europa, Rivisondoli including return airport transfers (Naples), half board in a family room, for as little as £1,399 (2 adults, 2 children aged 11 and under).

Flights are not included.

All of SkiAbruzzo.com’s holidays are individually tailored and can include ski school and equipment rental.

Skiers choosing Abruzzo this season will find superb value for money, modern ski lifts, uncrowded slopes, short airport transfers and holidays tailor-made to suit their requirements.
