History
Alpe Paglio lies at about 1,400 m above Casargo in the Valsassina, reached by surfaced road, and had a single skilift owned by the Comune di Casargo. It was built in 1970 and dismissed in 2003, and unusually for this dataset the reason recorded has nothing to do with snow or money: the lift had simply reached the age limit beyond which it could not be operated. When Mountain Wilderness surveyed the site between April 2006 and December 2007 the departure and arrival stations were still in place with the platters taken off. No later assessment has been traced, and course names were never compiled. The coordinates mark the Alpe di Paglio.
