Fly south to Rome, Naples or Pescara and enjoy the uncrowded ski slopes of the Abruzzo Apennines with www.skiabruzzo.com 

Roccaraso is Italy's fifth biggest ski area with over 100 km of linked piste and 800 metres of vertical drop With three nearby airports – Naples, Pescara and Rome - served by scheduled airlines from the UK and elsewhere, transfer times from airport to resort can be as little as 90 minutes. Popular with Italian skiers for many years, Abruzzo offers a genuine Italian skiing experience as yet untouched by mass tourism. An average of 350 cm of snow falls each winter for a ski season that lasts from December until April.

Skiers looking for modern ski lifts, well-groomed pistes, abundant snowfall backed up with comprehensive snowmaking and charming villages where competitively priced family-run hotels serve tasty Italian food should consider Abruzzo for their next holiday on the slopes. The notion of lengthy queues and jostling to get on a skilift is almost unheard of in Abruzzo and the price of a lift pass is very competitive. A six days pass, high season in Roccaraso is roughly £190, with reductions for children and seniors.

Getting to the slopes is easy – SkiAbruzzo.com's programme includes ski-to-the-door hotels and several others that offer complimentary door-to-door ski shuttle services for their guests.

Half term holidays (and short breaks) to the Roccaraso area have become more popular with each year as the word gets around that prices in Abruzzo are not inflated at all for the February half term week. For example, a family of four can stay for 7 nights at the Hotel Victoria, Rivisondoli including return airport transfers, half board in a family room, and €10 per person per day mountain restaurant lunch credit for as little as £1,825 (2 adults, 2 children aged 11 and under).
