Cross-country skiing in Aprica

3.5 km in the picture-perfect pasture of the Pian di Gembro Reserve and Trivigno’s serene 7 km loop

 

Set in the nature reserve of the same name, Pian di Gembro has a fabulous 3.5 km circuit that cuts through the forest at an altitude of 1,352 to 1,424 m.s.l, often opening up to reveal expansive views over the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Just 4 km from Aprica, this place glides with the very best of them – it’s classic for the entire loop, with skating possible along most of it.

Another must-ski is the seriously pretty high-altitude track at Trivigno (1,800 metres above sea level), a real paradise for Nordic skiers.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING AT THE PIAN DI GEMBRO NATURE RESERVE

With nothing-short-of-spectacular views over the Adamello mountain range, cross-country skiers can enjoy this 3km-plus track as it winds through the trees. Easily accessible from the road, this not-too-testing circuit lets everyone in on the action, while still providing a great training loop for experts.
