SVANETI: SKI MOUNTAINEERING AMONG THE PEAKS OF THE CAUCASO

A journey to discover Svaneti, a wild and uncontaminated region of Georgia, where snow-capped mountains and picturesque villages are the setting for an unforgettable ski mountaineering experience. A true paradise for lovers of this discipline, Svaneti offers trips suitable for every type of ski mountaineer, from short trips with limited technical commitment to real ski mountaineering with technical sections, large differences in altitude and steep and glacier terrain. Svaneti, nicknamed the "Roof of Europe", is a unique territory in the world, located in the heart of the Caucasus. Here, between peaks that exceed 5,000 meters above sea level, there are pristine valleys and stone villages that seem suspended in time, guardians of millenary traditions. In addition to ski mountaineering, this trip to the Caucasus will allow you to visit the villages of Mestia and Ushguli, characterized by ancient architecture and ancient watchtowers, and come into contact with local customs and delicious Georgian gastronomy.

Ski mountaineering in the Maritime Alps: Valle Stura

  •   26 - 30 March 2025
The Stura Valley: one of the most enchanting corners of the Maritime and Cottian Alps, an ideal environment for those who love ski mountaineering! In winter, the valley transforms into a true paradise for ski mountaineering!!! Thanks to its territorial conformation, this valley offers opportunities for everyone, beginners and experts, to ski on winter and spring snows with trips of varying difficulty. The ideal destination for those looking for an adventure far from mass tourism to discover still wild corners!!! The “ski de randonnée” also goes beyond the Colle della Maddalena, which remains a good alternative when the snow conditions are not optimal on the Italian side. Our choice is to base ourselves in Sambuco, at the Osteria della Pace, where, in addition to the delicious cuisine and a very varied wine list, you can relax in the hotel SPA after long ski mountaineering trips.

Monte Rosa Freeride

  •   04 - 06 January 2025
Monte Rosa is the temple of Freeride: wide lands, an infinite variety of slopes of different technical levels suitable for all, from the beginner to the steep skiing lover; modern ski lifts that allow the skier to fully enjoy the ski day. If it is true that the well-known “Monte Rosa Tour” is today partly affected by ski lifts, the modern Punta Indren lift station leads you in a short time up to an altitude of 3200 m and lets you reach the wide slopes to Gressoney (such as to Lys Valley) or to Alagna, throughout couloirs, glaciers, isolated valleys surrounded by steep sides.
