Aprica, a small town in the north of the Lombardy region (south of Livigno and Bormio). Aprica ski resort is located at an altitude of 1180 m above sea level, on a 3 km long and wide pass of the same name connecting the Valtellina and Val Camonica valleys.
Aprica skiing
The ski area is divided into four zones: Palabione, Magnolta, Baradello and Campetti are all connected, with runs that descend a casual 1100 metres-plus to the town from the top at 2,300 metres above sea level. The Magnolta area is the sunniest, Palabione the largest, while Baradello boasts the latest lift technology and runs.
The ski area mainly offers easy and intermediate pistes, but there a couple of black runs to be found, as well. The "Superpanoramica" is known to be especially lovely and, at a length of 6 km, is the longest piste in the area and offers breath-taking panoramic views. A challenge for the more experienced skiers is the "Magnolta Inferiore" with approx. 2 km length. In short, there is something for everyone … and don’t miss the Dosso Pasò slope!
For families and first-time skiers, the nursery slopes in Campetti make it the go-to spot with beginner ski lifts and magic carpets.
Night skiing is also available in the Aprica ski resort (skiing under the stars on the Baradello slope). The longest blue slope of the ski area, as of this year the Superpanoramica is also Europe's longest illuminated slope! For anyone who never grows tired of skiing, this slope is even open in the evening. From the top of Baradello, at 2000m, to the town: a 700 m drop along around 6 km of spacious and fun slope. At the foot of Monte Palabione two blue pistes are illuminated for night skiing.

The resort also has eight restaurants or chalets on the slops so you can enjoy some some great mountain food while taking in the views. A cosy end to the day can be found in the many restaurants with their tasty local specialities. The local pool complex also offers a nice alternative with their relaxing spa facilities.
