Roccaraso – Rivisondoli (Alto Sangro)
About the area
Roccaraso - Rivisondoli spreads 66 km of pistes across the Central Apennines, and just over half of it — 34 km, or 51% — is green or blue. That, plus 17 short easy runs sitting right next to a lift base, makes it a sound choice for beginners, while 4 magic carpets cover genuine first steps. Families are well served: 6 gondolas or cable cars mean small children never have to load a moving chairlift. Experts will find less to hold them: 13 km is graded black or freeride (20%), and the biggest vertical on a single run is 660 m.
The area runs from 1,297 m up to 2,128 m and is served by 28 lifts in total, including 10 chairlifts, 3 T-bars, 4 drag lifts and a platter. The longest descent measures 4,875 m, with 18 km of red pistes for intermediates working up from the blues.
