Ski touring traverse of the Dolomites
Join a certified mountain guide from the Azimut Montagne team on these 6 beautiful days in the Dolomites, to discover the area ski touring from hut to hut.
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.
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!
Accommodation At the following refuges: - Flora Alpina - Castiglioni - Prolongia - Lagazoi - Scoiattoli |

I was disappointed. I was slower than the rest of the group reaching Tete Rousse, and the guide discouraged me from going to Gouter. I had a slight ankle sprain the day before which slowed my ascent. I recovered 95% the day after. My complaint: when I decided to go for a second guided attempt, at a slower pace, I received no help in securing a guide, or a reservation at Gouter. The online reservation showed fully booked both for Rousse and Gouter. But I know that there were lots of empty bunks at Rousse, and I suspect the same at Gouter. I received sympathy, but only as a formality. Initially I had sought a single dedicated guide, but I was encouraged to join a group. I did not get a choice.I should have known better, I knew my pace would be a bit slower, but I counted on your support and understanding. I got neither. I was on my own with no help.

Trip was excellent but explore share needs to provide more information, the only reason I knew what was going on is that I was with Azimut on another trip.

I joined this trip 30 Jul - 2 Aug with my friend from Japan. This was third try of mountaineering in foreign countries . The weather was not good, but we were able to stand on the summit. It was amazing experience for us because we have wanted to climb European mountains for a long time. We appreciate our guide and support staffs. Thank you!

It was the first time to climb the mountain in foreign country for me. However As I don\'t like the such a tour which includes all like flight, accomodation etc. That\'s why I chose the Explore-share. I enjoyed much this tour thanks to friendly and nice guide and also other participants, though we couldn\'t climb Mont Blanc because of bad weather condition. Finally this tour was well organized with skilled guides. I hope for next chance to climb Mont Blanc.

My experience was better than I could have imagined. I didn\'t have to worry about anything other than showing up in Oulx with my ski boots! Simon, our guide, was excellent, totally competent, and easy-going. We spent time in the best ski areas in beautiful, small French towns. Our accommodations and food were also top notch. I\'d highly recommend Azimut.

Merci à l\'équipe et surtout notre super guide JB qui nous a supporté jusqu au sommet
Merci beaucoup à Manu et Antoine, nos deux guides, pour cette excellente semaine. Ils ont été aux petits soins et très professionnels: s\'assurant que chacun était en sécurité et profitait le plus possible de son séjour, de la montagne et de la bonne neige ;). L\'hébergement, à l\'hôtel Les Agneaux était aussi fantastique: nourriture faite maison, locale, chambres très confortables et propriétaire encore une fois aux petits soins. C\'était top!
