Description
I’m sure that you’ve heard at least once about the Dolomites. This mineral massif is a spot like no others in the Alps. In fact, it is a World Heritage Site since 2009. Some of its most renown summits include Marmolada, Torre Sella, Tofane and Tre Cime. They are not only known for skiing, but also for via ferrata and climbing.
I propose to you the following ski touring crossing of the Dolomites. We will combine mechanical lifts with ascents on seal skins. Beautiful skiing is waiting for you!
Discover the sublime passes, the descents surrounded by impressive walls, the beauty of the villages. And to top it all, the refuges are very comfortable, not to mention the great food!
You can find below some already planned dates, but keep in mind that if you want we can set a new trip.
Next departures:
– 03/05/2017 to 03/10/2017
– 03/19/2017 to 03/24/2017
Does this 6-day trip to discover everything the Dolomites have to offer sound tempting? Then join me! All it takes is to contact me and we’ll start planning this amazing trip.
I also offer another ski trip in the Dolomites where you can stay in a single accommodation for the week, check it out!
