Where to visit and what to see
Both in winter and summer, a wide range of mountain lodges and restaurants provide the right places for a break or a lunch surrounded by woods and nature.This town is a prefered destination among families with many children. Here, children can have fun playing even without skis thanks to a modern magic carpet lift, near the learning slope, where there are many inflatable toy structures to play on.
For passionate skiers, Schia offers ten slopes of various difficulties for a total of 15 km, served by four ski-lifts: 2 ski-lifts, 1 magic carpet lift and 1 chairlift with two seats, opened in 2008, which carries up to 1200 people per hour. Snow is guaranteed by an artificial snow maker.
Besides the kiddie park and the cross-country skiing, there is a snowboarding park, called "ParKaio", especially for freestyle lovers, with bumps, boxes, rail and a lighting facility for night skiing.
Being surrounded by woods in a fascinating environment makes Schia a good place for a dinner in one of the trattorias of the area, also in the summer time.
