Ski Touring in the Abruzzo Region

Spring Corn Snow, Summit Views and Mediterranean Charm Near Rome

A ski touring trip to Abruzzo combines alpine beauty, warm Italian hospitality and unforgettable nature experiences. Between the majestic Gran Sasso massif and the wild landscapes of the Majella National Park, ski tourers discover one of the most diverse and authentic ski touring areas in Southern Europe. While spring has already reached the valleys, the higher elevations offer perfect corn snow, impressive summits and a peaceful winter atmosphere.

Around the Gran Sasso, home to Europe’s southernmost glacier, and across the expansive Majella range, a wide variety of ski tours awaits – from gentle routes for beginners to more demanding ascents. A standout is the Monte Amaro, featuring a continuous 1,400-metre slope with a steeper upper section and spectacular views of the Corno Grande. Equally impressive is the broad Campo Imperatore plateau, often referred to as “Little Tibet” for its vast, open landscape that creates a unique ski touring atmosphere.

Despite its outstanding potential, Abruzzo remains one of the lesser-known ski touring destinations – a true advantage for all who seek quiet peaks, pristine corn snow and traditional mountain villages that have preserved their authentic character.

After the tours, visitors can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Italian hospitality. Regional cuisine, local specialities and the warm-hearted nature of the people make the evenings just as memorable as the tour days. This perfect combination of alpine diversity, Mediterranean spirit and excellent spring snow turns a ski touring week in Abruzzo into an experience you will remember for a long time.
