Travel Tour Overview
Maiella Outdoor: Adventures For All - Winter
In winter, the Majella transforms into a snowy paradise, perfect for a fully immersive "ski-in, walk-out" mountain experience on foot or via ski lifts. To eliminate daily transit and enjoy the mountains to the fullest, the ideal high-altitude base is Passolanciano-Majelletta (approx. 1,300–1,650 m).

Suitable for Snowshoeing, Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Ski Touring, and Gastronomy.
