School ski trips to Aprica
Welcoming and well-equipped, Aprica’s compact resort is a popular option for schools who enjoy its friendliness and excellent snow cover, the distance to the lifts is 150 metres but groups can take the free ski bus. Skis only are stored by the nursery area. North-facing slopes are surrounded by national parks offering that all-important view, while an extensive lift network makes getting around on ski days easier. Aprica boasts the longest illuminated piste in Europe, so night-skiing is also an option, but there’s plenty to do off the slopes too, with a modern sports centre for swimming and a floodlit ice-rink for skating beneath the stars.
Features
A top choice for novices, Aprica’s village-level nursery slopes are ideal for building confidence in the earlier days of your trip. With the basics mastered, beginners can then use the drags and chairlifts to progress to Aprica’s wide and uncrowded runs.
More confident skiers can join their instructors higher up the mountain to cruise along the blues and long reds in the Baradello ski area, while confident skiers looking for a challenge will face a worthy challenge on the resort’s long black runs.
