## About Piani di Bobbio

Piani di Bobbio is the closest skiing to Milan — a cable car from Barzio in the Valsassina, little more than an hour from the city — and that proximity is the whole proposition.

It is small and its season depends on the weather, but for a metropolitan area of several million it is the difference between a lesson on a Saturday and a three-hour drive.

## Where lessons start

Fine for a first contact with snow if you are in Milan. Go midweek — the same proximity that makes it convenient makes Saturdays crowded.

## Getting there

Milan is around an hour and a quarter to Barzio, then the cable car.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I get to Piani di Bobbio from Milan?

By road it is around an hour and a quarter to Barzio, in the Valsassina, then the cable car up to the slopes. Without a car, take the train to Lecco and a bus up the valley to Barzio. Go midweek if you can: it is the closest skiing to Milan, and Saturdays are correspondingly crowded. The season depends on the weather, so check conditions before setting off.
