|
Aprica is a small town located on the homonymous pass, between Val Camonica and Valtellina, to approximately 1200 meters above sea level.
Towards the end of 19th century in the town started to develop the touristic activity that is nowadays the main economic resource of the area. Actually Aprica has always had, since centuries, a natural vocation to hospitality, because it was an obliged point of passage through the Alps and because of the splendid geography of the place. The climate is the typical alpine one, warm but windy in summer, relatively cold in winter. The name Aprica comes from Latin and means sunny: this because the town is located on the southern side of the mountain, and therefore the climate is never too cold.
