WINTER: home ski touring organized weeks

Haute route of the Dolomites (6^th  to 12^th  March)   Difficulty***
Registration by 15th February 2010

The Dolomites, famous for its skiing, breathtaking views and amazing colours, is one of the most beautiful and appreciated mountain groups in the world. Few people though, know that it is possible to undertake wonderful circuits lasting a number of days using only ski-touring skis. Of course the very modern ski-lifts assist transfers between one excursion and another, alternating solitary ascents in a wild environment with ascents to the highest peaks with modern cable cars to make this a very interesting and variable week. This week is not suitable for everyone, in fact it is necessary to have a reasonable skiing ability as well as good physical preparation to achieve this wonderful traverse. We will also need to carry quite a heavy back-pack although we will be sleeping in comfortable hotels and refuges. For those who take part in a week like this, they will come back feeling wonderfully fulfilled by every aspect of the experience

Send registration by 18th March 2010

Sass fee is a fantastic area for alpin ski and skimountaineering. When I was there my first time I was very surprised about this place. The valley is very nice and everything is organized for the skiers. Some four thousand peacks are not so difficult, but the contest is wonderfull. Now I return every year for a skimountaineering week, and never I think this is boring. This year, ther is only one different thing, the tour is harder than the normal, because I want to climb four high peacks.  This week is not for beginners, but for expert.
