A week of ski mountaineering among the immense Austrian pine forests against which the easternmost glaciers of the Alpine arc and the beautiful Dachstein, with its 2995 meters, the highest peak of the Northern Limestone Alps. The typical hospitality of the places to stay and the peaceful environment make this trip a proposal for those who want a week of ski mountaineering dedicated to beautiful powdery snow along panoramic trips and without major technical difficulties! In fact, the trips always start from the bottom of picturesque, typically Austrian valleys often nestled in deep rocky gorges, beyond which you reach open spaces and wide panoramic slopes above the pine forests. Upper Styria offers beautiful descents that alternate open slopes with vast coniferous forests; Thanks to the rather cold climate and the disturbances that easily reach these mountains from Siberia, the snow is very often powdery and abundant.
