Description
In the southwest of Piedmont we find the beautiful Val Maira (Maira Valley), a must destination if you are into ski touring. During this trip we will combine adventure and comfort.
Each morning we choose a different area to explore: a new pass, another summit. We will decide the best spots considering the sun and snow on each day.
Each afternoon, after an adventurous ski touring day, we return to our comfortable accommodation. There we will talk about the day's adventures while having a drink. For example, we can taste some of the wonderful wines from the wonderful cellar of our host. You shouldn't come if you are in a diet!
If you want to enjoy great ski and warm evenings in good company, then this program in Val Maira is perfect for you.
The highlights of this trip include:
– Over 300 different ski touring itineraries in the valley
– A comfortable accommodation and good food
– Easy access by TGV and transfer
– Great logistics
