OVERVIEW

About this trip

A day or a few days of ski touring in the Brenta and Dolomites. You can come with a particular summit or area in mind, or simply let us choose the best option for the day.

We can look for good snow and long descents, explore a new area, spend a night in a mountain hut or put together a longer hut-to-hut tour.

We usually have a plan, but we keep it flexible. Snow, weather and conditions can change, and sometimes it makes sense to change the route as well.

The pace is relaxed and there is no need to rush. We take the time to enjoy the uphill, look around, stop at a hut when it makes sense and, most importantly, enjoy the skiing.

You choose the days and how you would like to spend them. We'll take it from there.

ITINERARY

Itinerary

  1. Day 1
    Example ski touring options around Val di Fassa and Madonna di Campiglio

    On flexible ski touring days the final objective is chosen based on snow conditions, avalanche situation and the level of the group. Below are a few realistic tours we often use around Val di Fassa, Madonna di Campiglio and Campo Carlo Magno.

    These are examples rather than a fixed list.

    Val Lastié, Sella Group (Val di Fassa)

    A classic and very scenic Dolomites tour. Starting from the Pian Trevisan area above Canazei, we skin into Val Lastié, a wide and gentle valley framed by the impressive walls of the Sella Group.

    The ascent follows moderate slopes, with around 800-900 metres of elevation gain, with excellent views and often good snow thanks to the favourable exposure. A true Dolomites-style tour, well suited to intermediate groups.

    Val Gelada, Bocca dei Tre Sassi (Brenta)

    A more “mountain” style tour starting from the Fortini / Campo Carlo Magno area and entering Val Gelada. We climb through gentle valleys and progressively steeper slopes towards Bocca dei Tre Sassi, with around 900-1,000 metres of ascent.

    Thanks to the northerly aspect, snow conditions are often very good, and the atmosphere is typically quiet and remote, far from the busier ski areas.

    Cima Roma from Passo Grostè (Brenta)

    Reached from the top station of the Passo Grostè lifts, this tour follows rolling terrain before a final climb to the panoramic summit of Cima Roma.

    A moderate ski tour with a real summit feel and wide views over the Brenta group and surrounding peaks.

    These are only examples. The final choice for the day is confirmed together with the group shortly before the trip, once we have the most up-to-date weather and avalanche information. The aim is always to choose the option that best fits the conditions and offers the most enjoyable skiing for the group.
