About Leontica
Leontica is a Blenio valley village, first recorded in 1204 and home to fewer than 300 people in 2000. Since 2004 it has been part of the municipality of Acquarossa. Comprovasco, the lower part of the old Leontica municipality, lies on the valley floor and is a key post bus hub. Above the village, the Nara ski area spreads across a wide, sunny valley between about 1,400 and 2,200 metres, with chair and drag lifts, a children's lift, a ski school, sledging runs and a snow park. Evenings are quiet. The homes are in the village and mostly sleep four to six, and most have a fireplace; check each listing.

Leontica villa holidays: questions answered
Is there skiing at Leontica?
Yes. The Nara ski area sits directly above the village, between about 1,400 and 2,200 metres, with around 30 km of pistes, chair and drag lifts, a children's lift, a ski school and a snow park.
Is Leontica good for families?
For a winter family week, it works well. Nara has a children's lift, a ski school and sledging runs, and most homes here sleep four to six. Expect a quiet village rather than entertainment laid on.
Does the Nara chairlift above Leontica run in summer?
Only during events. In summer the Nara lifts open just for those occasions and close in bad weather, so check the timetable before planning a hike or bike day around them.
What else is there to see near Leontica?
Mostly churches and walks. The Romanesque church of San Carlo di Negrentino has frescoes nearly 1,000 years old, four marked historic trails run from Acquarossa, and the bare Greina plateau lies within the wider valley.
