In the last decade I’ve lived with the skis on for most of the year, April and May as well, when I should go back into rock climbing, but these two are best months for the ski tours I’ve dreamed for all winter.
In this page you’ll find some ski touring offers, from day trips in the Dolomites and beyond to the big classic ski touring traverses of the springtime, when the ski touring season is a its best. If you have your own ideas, dream tours and projects do not hesitate to contact me. Together we will make it happen.
