Full description

Have you always skied the slopes and are now looking for something more adventurous and challenging?

Take an introductory ski touring lesson on the Alpe Cimbra. You will discover an exciting winter sport that combines the challenge of mountain hiking with the thrill of downhill skiing.

With special equipment such as adjustable bindings and seal skins attached to your skis, you will ascend snow-covered slopes with agility in a 3-hour lesson with an Alpine Guide, and then embark on free descents on fresh, unexplored snow slopes.

We are waiting for you!

What we will do

We will meet with the Alpine Guide at 9:00 a.m. in Folgaria. We will begin with a briefing on ski mountaineering techniques and analysis of the snowpack, to better understand the conditions of the route and how to deal with them safely.

After putting on our seal skins under our skis, we will begin the ascent on the snowy slopes of the Alpe Cimbra, accompanied by the Alpine Guide. Theitinerary will be chosen according to the level of the group and the snow conditions, guaranteeing an experience suitable for everyone.

The ascent will be a special moment: the silence of the mountain, the rhythm of the steps and the panorama all around will allow us to discover theAlpe Cimbra from a completely new perspective.

Once at the top, the most exciting part will begin: the free descent on fresh snow, tracing our lines on pristine slopes. During the lesson, we will also learn how to use the safety kit (shovel, ARTVA and probe) and how to interpret mountain signs, which are fundamental for moving with awareness in an untracked environment.

At the end of the 3-hour lesson, we will return to our starting point.
