On the slopes

Aprica is an attractive resort in the Province of Sondrio, on a pass between Lake Como and the Dolomites. At 1,181m it has lift access to the pistes at almost every point, offering a wide variety of carefully prepared runs and an extensive nursery area. Aprica offers skiing for all grades, from nursery slopes to challenging black runs. There are wide, uncrowded runs for beginners at village level serviced by drag and chairlifts, and as your students progress they can tackle the long blue runs down from the higher slopes at 1,700m. There are three main interlinking ski areas - the Magnolta, the Palabione and the Baradello. Having mastered your technique, the new area of Baradello with its long reds and, for the more adventurous, black runs is ready to be explored. The new ‘Piste A’ now links the top of the Palabione to the intermediate station of Baradello. Or head to Dosso Passo, which offers the highest skiing in resort at 2,300m. From here the descent is through a superb network of runs on wide-open snow fields.

Off the slopes

Aprica is a well-established and friendly resort, with plenty to see and do. There is a good choice of pizzerias, bars with Karaoke, coffee shops and discos, plus a cinema and indoor swimming at the modern sports/spa centre. Aprica also has an ice-skating rink which is floodlit at night. Your representative will be at hand to help you organise in-house activities such as quizzes and bingo.
