Porta Nera is an amazing ski descent in the heart of Monte Rosa massif. Join me and let’s spend an unforgettable freeride skiing day in Cervinia!
Also called Schwarztor, the Porta Nera (Italian for “Black Gate”) is a 3,731 m col located between the long ridge of the Breithorn and the Pollux peak. This route is comparable to the mythical Vallèe Blanche, except it’s less crowded!
After taking the Piccolo Cervino lift (Klein Matterhorn), we will face an easy and fun traverse below the Breithorn walls, towards the Porta Nera. Once there, the awesome descent begins!
We will ski on high-quality powder crossing a unique scenery: the glaciers of Monte Rosa and the Grenzgletscher (one of the longest glaciers in Europe), among other beautiful spots! At the end of the adventure, we will return to Cervinia with the Swiss cableway.
Keep in mind that this tour requires powder skiing experience and the usage of mountaineering equipment.
So, if you want to ski on the stunning Porta Nera area, please contact me. Let me guide you through this incredible descent surrounded by a breathtaking landscape!
And if you are looking for a longer skiing trip, take a look at my 4-day Freeride Skiing Tour in Monte Rosa.

Mountain Guide
I’m Riccardo Olliveri, class 1975, mountain guide, paraglide pilot and engeneer, co-founder of the group Mountain Passion with other three guides, able to substitute me whenever unavailable.
I live at Turin, but I am resident in the Alps where I practice the mountaineering activity all through the year; I love the void and I play with it every time I can on rock, ice, dry tooling and also skiing.
It’s with great passion that I continue practicing the mountaineering activity at high level trying to share with whoever interested in doing it, starting people to alpinism and enjoying of their progresses.
I love travelling and practicing activity all over the world, have been organizing climbs, flights and expeditions to Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia, Himalaya, Pakistan, Morocco, Kenya, Norway, Spain, Iceland, France, Switzerland, Greece, Jordan, Brazil, Japan, Canada, USA…
I cooperate as testimonial and consultant for Montura, Scarpa, ATK, Kæstle ski, Edelweiss, Arva, Cebè and Grivel.
