Winter

Autumn and winter featuring snowy forests and the festivals celebrating local products.

During the fall and winter months, Lorica and Sila become a hub of fun activities and sports.

Fall brings festivals celebrating local food and wine, while craft markets offer the opportunity to experience the Calabrian traditions. October and November are ideal for taking in the foliage surrounded by pines, beeches and poplars. And, when it starts to snow, the ski season begins. There is a total of about 20 kilometers of ski slopes and several ski lifts in the Sila Grande area.

This mosaic of experiences makes Sila a perfect destination all year round, where each season opens the door to new adventures and unforgettable memories!
