Lo chalet In Pretoro

Bah...!!! This year, the missing innovation was food and drink service with only plastic and paper, maintaining the same prices as glass and pottery...even when the place was almost empty!!! Disappointment and general discontent!!

It is the most southern point in Italy with snow in Winter. 3 ski lifts and facilities to rent. But check weather conditions before you decide to go, of course. Of course you can do different things in Abruzzo. For us living in Puglia, it is a doable trip for a few days of ski.

Review – Pescara Refuge, Maiella We came from Parma specifically to visit the Mamma Rosa area and reach the Pescara Refuge on the Maiella, but unfortunately the experience was terrible in many ways. The access road is narrow and completely unmanaged: cars were parked on both sides of the road, creating a complete gridlock. As you can see in the photo, it was impossible to get on or off, and many people were forced to walk. The Carabinieri had to intervene to resolve the situation. A complete lack of organization. We had booked a snowshoe hike and were planning to have lunch at the refuge, but the line at the refreshment point was interminable and didn't move. Furthermore, we were told that everything would close at 4:00 PM, so we couldn't eat anything and were left with empty stomachs after a long journey. We managed to get some coffee and crisps in the afternoon. Unfortunately, tourist reception and hospitality are zero. It's a shame, because the place is truly beautiful and deserves much more careful organization. Once again, a region with great potential is not being promoted as it should be.

A very beautiful place, but on a sunny Sunday during school holidays, it's not highly recommended... (it's better to go during the week to fully enjoy it) because of people who park anywhere and anywhere, blocking traffic in both directions and making it impossible for cars to pass. In case of emergency, there's no way for an ambulance to get through. 😡😡

Nice place, Alpine style. Unfortunately, I didn't have lunch and can't rate it, but they do have a grill.
