Ski mountaineering - easy exit level MS

Ski mountaineering - easy exit level MS

In winter, the summer trails give way to expanses of snow on which to draw lines of ascent and descent, exploring the terrain, moving step by step, savouring the pleasure of discovery, entering a wild and spectacular world, but also treacherous if not approached with the right knowledge.

The ski mountaineering day includes climbing an easy route where the basic techniques of ascent and descent will be explained.
The difference in altitude will be between 400 and 700 metres depending on the agreed itinerary.

Requests?

Yes, it is essential to know how to descend black slopes with good technique (no snowploughs)

Ski mountaineering is generally a fairly strenuous activity, even for the most basic climbs you need to be in good physical shape and be used to walking uphill for several hours.

Yes, it is possible to rent it, just book it at least two weeks in advance.

If the Alpine Guide deems that the conditions are adverse, he can cancel or postpone the excursion. In case of cancellation by the Alpine Guide, any deposit will be fully refunded or, in agreement with the client, retained for a possible other date.

Generally it is not necessary to have a four-wheel drive car, however since it is a strictly winter activity it is advisable to have winter tires and snow chains on board since you may have to face climbs and descents on snow-covered roads.
