Of the famous canyons of the Gran Sasso and the various off-piste ski-touring routes, the best known is the descent of the three valleys.
Lifts lead up to 2233 meters on Mount Scindarella and natural snowfall is often heavy. In past seasons it was among the Italian ski resorts with the most snow, even reaching five meters of snow at the peak. The peak of Corno Grande, 2912 m above sea level, holds the "Cauldron", the southernmost glacier in Europe.
