Our take on Palumbosila

Palumbosila is a small-scale, low-key resort: 20 km of runs for an intimate skiing experience, far from the bustle of the big resorts. It's here that people come for calm, authenticity and no queues at the lifts. Palumbosila's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, well-groomed green runs and a good-natured atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It's one of the most reassuring resorts in the Apennines for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Palumbosila's moderate altitude, with the base at 1,350 m and the summit at 1,650 m, makes it sensitive to climate variations. January and February remain the safest months for optimal snow cover. Outside this window, checking the snow reports before you leave is strongly advised. The day lift pass at 30€ is reasonable for the quality of the ski area on offer. Counting accommodation, skiing and meals, Palumbosila suits those who want to spend a great week without the final bill knocking them off their chair. In short: Palumbosila doesn't compete with the giants of skiing, and doesn't pretend to. It's an honest destination, often underrated, that deserves to be (re)discovered.
