The land on which the ski resort sits originally belonged to a monastery called the Abbazia di San Colombano. The monastery was located in a place called Bobbio, a town in the Province of Piacenza. During the middle ages, the monastery used the land for grazing cattle in the summer. Development of the ski resort began in the 1950s and because it is scarce, it can be difficult to find cheap hotels in Piani di Bobbio.

The resort offers 35 kilometres of slopes for alpine skiing and snowboarding and it is particularly suitable for families. Most of the slopes are in fact suitable for beginners and progressing skiers. However, there are some descents that can satisfy even expert skiers: the black runs served by the Chiavello chairlift in Valtorta and those that descend from Mount Orscellera.

There are 4 chair lifts, including the brand new Valtorta 4-person chairlift and 3 drag lifts that serve the slopes. For snowboarders, there is the Bobbio Park at the arrival of the first chairlift which is spread over an area of 1500 square meters and divided into 5 floors each with 3 different structures, with a final quarter for both beginners and experts.
