Not many people think that Sicily is not just sea. And it could be a great surprise if you’re thinking about spending a pleasant ski holiday. Especially in Linguaglossa and Nicolosi, the two places where to ski on Etna.
The ski resort of Piano Provenzana, in the municipality of Linguaglossa, has an “alpine” appearance thanks to the characteristic pinewood that surrounds it. On the background there are not mountains, but the sea. The ski slopes are at an altitude of 1.810 meters above the levels of the sea.
The ski resort of Piano Provenzana offers:
Between the two ski resorts of Etna, this is the biggest. This ski resort extends from Nicolosi to Montagnola (1.700 meters above the level of the sea). This is one of the most favorite because it’s a great starting point from which you can reach the summit craters of Etna.
The ski resort of Nicolosi offers:
The two ski resorts of Etna are suggested for all the skiers, from the beginners to the most experts. Here you can do alpine skiing, ski mountaineering, Nordic ski and off piste.
To ski on Etna, we suggest you to start from the inhabited center of Catania, on the oriental coast of Sicily.
In both cases, drive prudently and always carry the snow chains with you.
