Lured by the first sprinklings of snow up on the mountains of the Majella National Park, coupled with a beautiful warm autumn day, we couldn’t resist heading up to the top of La Majelletta – an easy drive, less than an hour from your Abruzzo villa for two.

An hour from leaving your Abruzzo holiday villa just outside Casoli – and after a beautiful and easy drive up through the Majella – you could be strapping on your skis !
