LA VECCHIA MINIERA

The town is located in Abruzzo, in the town of Rocca di Cambio, about 25 km from L'Aquila, in the middle of an area surrounded by peaks all over two thousand meters high and snowed for six months a year. The systems start at an altitude of 1410 meters above sea level. in Caporitorto to reach the maximum altitude of m. 2064 s.l.m. on Mount Rotondo.Campo Felice, from anywhere you look at it, has everything to satisfy those who "do not know how to give up" to the "white passion". In the distant faraway 1969 this place immersed in silence seemed to the Cavaliere del Lavoro Dr. Aldo Jacovitti worthy of a tourism enhancement for the development of the Rocche plateau and beyond. It is one of the few ski resorts in central Italy, which allows the connection with skis at the foot of two mountain sides: the Altopiano delle Rocche (Rocca di Cambio, Rocca di Mezzo and Ovindoli) with the side of Campo Felice (Lucoli) and Tornimparte). Just go up, with the Monte Rotondo chairlift, on the mountain of the same name, near the statue of Our Lady of the Snow, to understand how generous nature has been with Campo Felice: a single glance to enclose in a big hug the Gran Sasso, the Maiella, the Sirente, the Velino, the Duchess and Mount Terminillo. A breathtaking view, an emotion comparable only to that of arriving, skiing at the foot, at the end of one of its many descents. The station, in fact, offers slopes for all tastes, with gradients that exceed even the 600 meters. The geographic conformation allows you to practice winter sports even in case of fog because all the tracks converge in a wide plateau. And in the case of poor natural snow, a very modern, fully automated system starts operating, now also extended to the Cerchia area, equipped with 250 cannons, capable of snowing over 15 km of slopes. Campo Felice is also a paradise for children. thanks to an area specifically dedicated to them, where there are inflatable play structures and snow tubing. A paradise even for snow boarders thanks to the new ski lift built for them this year. The lifts, very modern, with 5 Four-seater chairlifts, 4 two-seater, 1 maneuver, 2 ski lifts, 2 carpets, 1 snow tubing park, guarantee a total capacity of 16,000 people per hour.
