Ovindoli

Ovindoli (Abruzzese: Dvinnërë) is a village and comune of the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of central Italy.

Close to Rome, it is a resort for both summer and winter sports, including hiking, biking, equestrian activities and downhill and cross-country skiing.

Ovindoli lies in the Apennine Mountains of Abruzzo, within the regional park of Sirente-Velino.

During the 1961–62 season, ski lifts began operating 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 further develop the area as a ski resort and oversaw expansion activities.
