On the slopes
The fabulous resort of Aprica is accessed by either a gondola or a chairlift from near the village centre which rises up to Malga Palaboine. From here, a variety of easy and intermediate runs descend back down through the trees to the village. The Superpanoramica run is popular with novice skiers descending over six kilometres. Alternatively, a succession of lifts takes skiers to the top of the lifts at Dosso Paso accessing steeper, open snow fields above the tree line. The runs down all vary but are ideal for Skibound groups who want to challenge themselves. Skiing the 2.3km long Benedetti black run is the perfect way to finish the week, descending a full vertical kilometre back down to the village.
