What we will do
The meeting point for the activity is set at 8:00 am at the Alpine Guide 's office in Caspoggio (SO). Once the group is formed (4 to 8 participants), we will move to the location selected for the ski mountaineering day. This will vary depending on the calendar and weather conditions, but will always be located in the Valtellina area or in adjacent valleys such as Valmalenco, Valchiavenna, Engadine or Orobie Valtellinesi.
Once on site, we will have an introductory lesson on ski mountaineering, get to know thespecific equipment and learn the basic rules of self-rescue using probe, shovel and artva, tools necessary for any off-piste outing.
We will practise ascent techniques using seal skins, while for the descent we will tackle off-piste routes, experiencing the thrill of skiing in fresh powder snow.
The activity lasts a total of about 6 hours and includes a packed lunch.
