## About Monte Cimone

Monte Cimone is the highest peak of the northern Apennines and the largest ski area in the range, with four linked sectors around Sestola in the Modena mountains.

It has been the winter destination for Emilia-Romagna since the 1930s, and the scale is enough to fill a week rather than a day — which is unusual this far south.

## Where lessons start

Enough terrain to progress through a week, plentiful snowmaking and a long teaching tradition. The best base in the northern Apennines for a first proper ski week.

## Getting there

Bologna is around an hour and a half, Modena about an hour and a quarter.
