Alto Molise – a secret land hanging in the time
Molise is, soon afterwards Val D’Aosta, the smallest region of Italy and consequently one of the less known of our country too. This land is extremely rich in history and nature and it managed to preserve its tradition, the excellent flavours of its plain cooking and most of all the human dimension of living.
The early Samnite region, full of traces of that ancient culture, is rich in signs of several other ages too: the Prehistoric Age, the Roman and the Lombard one, the Romantic Age and the Baroque.
This is also the land of the vast green spaces, the cattle-tracks (tratturi), the large meadows and woods of the “Alto Molise” area.

CAPRACOTTA, the “pearl” of Alto Molise
Capracotta, a health and winter ski resort, standing at 1421 m. above sea level and protected on both sides by two mountains called Monte Campo and Monte Capraro, is today an important point of reference for the cross-country skiing in central and southern Italy.
In the imposing natural scenery of Prato Gentile, both in winter and in summer enjoyable, was the host-place of very important ski competitions: the Absolute Italian Championship and the Continental Cup. This made of Capracotta one of the best location for such a sport. The recent opening of a run for alpine-skiing means that Capracotta can offer an even richer array of winter sports to its tourists. The place can boast an historic Skiing-Club: It was instituted in 1914 and has been adorned with two extremely important recognitions: the C.O.N.I. gold star and the F.I.S.I. gold badge for sporting merit.

The Hotel Capracotta: the right place for every season
The Hotel Capracotta is situated in the centre of the village of the same name: a tourist health resort with an old “molisana” tradition. Here you can find, in a pleasant and cosy atmosphere, all you need for your comfort and relax. Every bedroom is sunny. They also have a panoramic view, bathroom with shower, TV, radio-telephone and fridge-bar.
Ten rooms are also on two levels (as they had a mansard) and have two bathrooms. The common spaces have a private bar, spacious living rooms with TV corner, fireplace, amusement arcade, ski-depot and a conference room with 120 seats and equipped with microphone-systems, stereo and tv-projector.
The hotel is also provided with an outside parking lot and a garage.
“Il Ginepro” Restaurant is also part of the hotel. In a very chic place you can enjoy dishes that you never ate before: the well-known ‘pecorino’ and ‘ricotta’ cheese, the ‘pezzata’ sheep meat (a traditional local dish), the typical lamb cutlets, the homemade pasta (prepared day by day), the mushrooms and the fresh truffles.
