Ovindoli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ovindoli is a comune and town in the Province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy

Ovindoli, population 1200, is a community in the Appenine Mountains of Abruzzo at 1375 meters (4511 feet) from sea level. The town is located within the regional park of Sirente-Velino. Close to Rome, it is a popular resort for both summer and winter sports, including hiking, biking, equestrian activities and downhill and cross-country skiing.

Ovindoli became known as a downhill skiing destination following the First World War, but it was not until 1959 that the mountain organized as a modern ski resort; at the time, it was called Valturvema. During the 1961-62 season, ski lifts began to operate and the trails were expanded. Charles Rogers, an American working at that time in the US Embassy in Rome served as President of the Society that worked to develop the area as a ski resort and oversaw the expansion activities. In 1994, the ski resort changed management and was named Monte Magnola and modernized with new trails, ski lifts and snow making capabilities.
