点评:To be honest, the ski resort isn’t actually in Rome… however it is a mere 2 hours 30 mins drive from Rome and only 2 hours from Naples! I learned to ski here as a young man in my twenties, and twenty years later both of my kids have learned to ski here too thanks to the wonderful instructors at the ‘Scuola Italiana Freeski Roccaraso’, some of whom also speak English if you ask. This really is a brilliant family friendly resort, which we keep on returning to year after year with an ever-expanding group of friends (16 of us in 2023!), and there’s very good reasons for that. Yes, the Alps and the Dolomites are much bigger and arguably more beautiful, but the Alto Sangro Ski Resort has many other advantages. Firstly, you can fly directly to Rome, which means you can top and tail your trip with a visit to the world’s most beautiful and captivating city. Secondly, the Romans and Neapolitans tend to use the resort only at the weekends, as they normally head to the Dolomites or Alps if they were taking a weeklong vacation. This means that you and your family could pretty much have the resort to yourselves Monday to Thursday with no queuing at most of the ski lifts. Thirdly, there’s the cost. Flights to Rome are relatively inexpensive and rental cars during the winter months are reasonable too. We paid around £1000 for return flights with BA for a family of 4 from London to Rome in February 2023 during school holidays. Yet you could fly even cheaper. Checking out prices for February 2024 suggests you could even find flights for around £600 for a family of 4 if flying with some of the cheaper airlines. Car hire for the week from Fiumicino Airport was a mere £142 for a large estate car and accommodation in Rome during the winter is as cheap as it’ll ever be (Double rooms @ £100 per night). Accommodation at the ski resort is also plentiful, but we’d recommended staying in one of the nearby beautiful chocolate box villages such as Pescocostanzo or Rivisondoli (Family room - €160 per night) to really enjoy your stay, although this does mean a 15 mins drive to the resort and back every day. A ski pass for the Alto Sangro area, which covers 90km of runs and 24 lifts, cost £724 for a family of 4 for 4 days as we tend not to ski on the Fridays when the crowds from Rome and Naples start to arrive. Finally, and arguably the most important advantage of skiing in the heart of Italy, is the food! There’s none of the overpriced poor-quality hybrid of German/French/Swiss/Italian/Austrian cuisine you tend to get in the north. Here in Abruzzo, it’s fantastic Italian cuisine at its absolute best. Downsides? Well not too many I can think of, which is why we keep on returning year on year. Arguably as it’s further south than the major European ski resorts, there’s always the chance of little snow. But over the 25 years I’ve been going to Alto Sangro, I can only remember a couple of times when there was a limited amount of snow, and I’m pretty sure there were also similar issues in the Alps and the Dolomites.

翻译:说实话,滑雪场实际上并不在罗马……但距离罗马仅2小时30分钟车程,距离那不勒斯仅2小时车程!我二十多岁的时候就在这里学会了滑雪,二十年后,我的两个孩子也在这里学会了滑雪,这要感谢“Scuola Italiana Freeski Roccaraso”的出色教练,如果你问的话,他们中的一些人还会说英语。这确实是一个出色的家庭友好度假村,我们年复一年地与不断扩大的朋友群体(2023 年我们将有 16 个人!)一起回到这里,这是有充分理由的。是的,阿尔卑斯山和多洛米蒂山更大,可以说更美丽,但阿尔托桑格罗滑雪场还有许多其他优势。首先,您可以直接飞往罗马,这意味着您可以参观世界上最美丽、最迷人的城市来结束您的旅程。其次,罗马人和那不勒斯人往往只在周末使用度假村,因为如果他们要度过一周的假期,他们通常会前往多洛米蒂山或阿尔卑斯山。这意味着您和您的家人可以在周一至周四尽情享受滑雪胜地的乐趣,而无需在大多数滑雪缆车处排队。第三,还有成本。飞往罗马的航班相对便宜,冬季租车也很合理。 2023 年 2 月学校放假期间,我们为一家四口支付了大约 1000 英镑购买了 BA 的往返航班,从伦敦飞往罗马。不过,您乘坐飞机的价格甚至可以更便宜。查看 2024 年 2 月的价格表明,如果乘坐一些更便宜的航空公司的航班,您甚至可以找到 4 口之家 600 英镑左右的航班。从菲乌米奇诺机场租车一周的大型旅行车仅需 142 英镑,冬季罗马的住宿也非常便宜(双人房每晚 100 英镑)。滑雪胜地的住宿也很充足,但我们建议您住在附近美丽的巧克力盒村庄之一,例如 Pescocostanzo 或 Rivisondoli(家庭间 - 每晚 160 欧元),以真正享受您的住宿,尽管这确实意味着 15每天开车往返度假村只需几分钟。 Alto Sangro 地区的滑雪通行证涵盖 90 公里的雪道和 24 部缆车,四口之家 4 天的价格为 724 英镑,因为周五罗马和那不勒斯的人群开始涌入,我们通常不去滑雪。最后,可以说是在意大利中心滑雪最重要的优势是食物!这里没有您在北方经常吃到的价格过高、品质不佳的德国/法国/瑞士/意大利/奥地利美食。在阿布鲁佐,这里有绝对最好的意大利美食。缺点?嗯,我能想到的不多,这就是为什么我们年复一年地回来的原因。可以说,由于它比欧洲主要滑雪胜地更靠南,所以总是有可能下小雪。但在我去过 Alto Sangro 的 25 年来,我只记得有几次雪量有限,而且我很确定阿尔卑斯山和多洛米蒂山脉也存在类似的问题。
