Campo Felice: skiing at night!

Campo Felice, skiing at night

My experience leads me to recommend Campo Felice as a good choice for a fun ski holiday!! First of all, it is easy to reach: using the Roma - L'Aquila motorway you exit at Tornimparte and from here with about 15 km of good road arrives at its destination.

Campo Felice offers a good number of slopes for all types of skiers. All the slopes benefit from an excellent artificial snowmaking system, although with less regard to the black slopes.

For a break and one you will find many good alternatives to the mountain chalet that you see in Canazei or Cortina; the appearance of the various refreshments and shelters are much less mountain but I assure you that the substance, such as polenta, snacks and other characteristic foods. . is not missing!

Campo Felice wanted to imitate the most famous ski resorts and was equipped with a lighting system that allows skiing at night; I couldn't try this experience and I have to admit that with local temperatures, night skiing is really a great success.

Campo Felice is a ski resort that is always alive and current and also demonstrate it by the various events that are organized and in which on the weekend it is not hard to come across me happened to attend a wonderful performance by world champions of Freestyle: a great show!!

In the heavy snow seasons, the resort also becomes an excellent resort for cross-country skiing.

One last tip: enjoy the magnificent view that can be appreciated from the summit of Monte Rotondo, judged from those parts as the most beautiful panorama d'Abruzzo!
