Aprica

A ski tour to Italy

Skiing in Italy has everything you need and more! The Views – The Snow – The Food – and The Friendly Italians! Perfect for school groups. The relaxed resorts in Italy have long running ski schools who speak fluent English, perfect pizza pit stops, and lots of fun activities where teachers can sit back – relax and know the students are having fun.

RESORT-

A friendly town with a long history of skiing, this well-equipped resort has a friendly feel that’s popular with school groups. Renowned for its great snow, the ski area is surrounded by national parks and has plenty of north facing slopes. You can hop on the lifts at three separate points, for access straight to the interlinked areas of Magnolta, Palabione and Baradello. Aprica now also boasts the longest illuminated piste for night skiing in the whole of Europe, spanning a total of 5.5km in length!

GB Sports were very professional and I would highly recommend using their service when organising a tour
