Travel program

Day 1: meeting in Limone Piemonte early in the morning. The tour begins with one of the classic ski mountaineering routes in the area: Cima della Fascia (2495 m), an itinerary in a Dolomite environment overlooking the town of Limone Piemonte. Descent and transfer to the hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2: breakfast at 7:00 and a short shuttle transfer to reach the village of Limonetto (1293 m) where you put on your skis near the groomed slopes. After about 100 m of altitude difference, you leave the ski area in the direction of Pian Madoro and Passo di Ciotto Mien, from where you quickly reach the top of Creusa Occidentale (2384 m). On clear days, in addition to a view that ranges from the Maritime Alps to Monte Rosa and the Cuneo plain, from this peak you can see the Ligurian Sea. The descent is on the beautiful slopes exposed to the north that lead first to Gias della Creusa and then to the village of Folchi (1025 m). Thanks to a short shuttle ride, you reach the village of Palanfrè (1379 m). Lunch, relaxation, then dinner and overnight stay at Rifugio L'Albergh.

Day 3: from Palanfrè you put on your skis and climb the steep slopes that lead to Pianard (2306 m). You are on the mountains at the watershed between Vallone Grande and Valle Gesso, offering a spectacular view of one of the most remote and wild areas of the Maritime Alps park (Vallone del Sabbione and Quarantene). From the top you descend the steep and shaded slopes that lead to Trinità di Entracque (1084 m) where the shuttle awaits. Short transfer to Sant'Anna di Valdieri, where you will spend the night at the selected facility.

Day 4: breakfast at 7:00 and a short shuttle transfer to San Bernardo di Desertetto to climb into Vallone di Desertetto. Ascent to Colle dell'Arpione (1721 m) and then to Punta Innominata (2097 m).

Lunch at Rifugio Olmo Bianco and shuttle transfer to Albergo della Pace in Sambuco. Dinner and overnight stay.

Day 5: breakfast at 7:00 and shuttle transfer to upper Valle Stura. Reaching Villaggio Primavera, just before Bersezio, you put on your skis and enter Vallone Forneris.

Descent along the steep and spectacular ascent route. Return by shuttle to Limone Piemonte.
