About the area

Cimone in Italy's Northern Apennines is an intermediate's hill. Of about 34 km of pistes, 22 km are red and only 6 km blue, so confident parallel skiers get the most out of it. Beginners are not shut out: 7 magic carpets cover first steps and there are 8 short easy runs next to a lift base, but green and blue terrain adds up to only 20% of the area, so progression comes fast. Experts should look elsewhere: 5 km of black and freeride terrain (15%) and a maximum vertical of 509 m on a single run are limited.

Fifteen lifts serve the area, eight of them chairlifts, which keeps access simple. Skiing runs between 1,304 m and 1,858 m, so conditions depend on the weather at fairly modest altitudes. The longest descent measures 3,965 m.
