Today, I propose a very modern ski resort on the Piacenza Apennines, between the provinces of Piacenza and Pavia.

Starting from the north, we take the A1 motorway, Milan — Florence. We exit at Piacenza Sud and continue along the SS 45 of Val Trebbia until the junction for Ponte Organasco. From here we arrive at Passo Penice, 1500 meters on the beautiful Monte Penice. It is exactly here that the ski season is fully enjoyed: given the favorable weather conditions and artificial snow, you have the opportunity to ski from December to March. And not only that: at Passo Penice you can also ski at night thanks to the excellent lighting systems. Precisely for this reason it is called 'the ski gym'. Downhill slopes for all levels: for families there is a school camp where children can enjoy the snow and learn to ski while playing.

Those who, like me, like the fund will not be disappointed as in the municipality of Bobbio, exactly in the locality of Le Vallette-Ceci, there are 10 kilometers of track with rings ranging from 2 to 7 kilometers.

I could also appreciate the well-equipped snow-park for the practice of snowboarding. The ideal destination for a day of pure skiing.

What To See near Passo Penice

Piozzano (17 Km)

Castello di Monteventano

There is little news about the Castle of Monteventano regarding its construction. From historical sources it appears that it was rebuilt in the 17th century after it was destroyed in 1164 by Federico Barbarossa. The fortress has been owned by several families over the centuries and is currently the private residence of a German painter. The structure still has its imposing walls and the tower leaning against the residential building. The round tower still stands over thirty meters high that presides over the entrance.

Piozzano (19 Km)

Castello di Montecanino

The Castle of Montecanino was built in the eleventh century in a position that offers a wide view of the Po Valley. It was destroyed in 1164 by Barbarossa but was rebuilt around the fifteenth century, passing ownership to many noble families including the Thirteen. The fortress had six towers, located between the perimeter and the center. Currently, only a few remains remain of the Castle, but in the past it was an imposing building for the defense and collection of the resort.
