Full description

You know that feeling of freedom you get when looking at snow-covered peaks? With ski-mountaineering you can go further: you will climb, slide and discover landscapes that you can only dream of from the slopes.

This ski-mountaineering lesson in Prali is the ideal starting point: a qualified instructor will teach you the basic techniques, from the ascent with seal skins to the descent in fresh snow, and will do so while exploring the scenery of the Germanasca Valley with you.

Get ready to spend a day skiing that is different from usual, with that touch of adventure that makes everything even more special!

What we will do

The meeting point is 15 minutes before 8 a.m. in Prali, in the province of Turin, where we will meet our ski-mountaineering instructor.

Those who need to hire the equipment (not included) can do so directly on site, and in no time we'll be ready to go. Before putting on the skis, we will do a complete check of the safety equipment: ARTVA, shovel and probe. We will then mount the skins and, after a short briefing, begin our ascent.

We will not have a precise objective in terms of altitude, but we will climb as far as we feel like it, enjoying every step. We will focus a lot on inversions and practical exercises, learning how to move with ski touring skis. There will also be an in-depth look at the environment around us: we will talk about the mountains, the trees and the geological features of the area.

At around 400 metres of altitude difference, we will take a short break to recharge our batteries, before continuing on to the summit. Once there, we will prepare for the descent. We will devote time to a specific lesson to learn how to ski in untracked snow, handling the terrain and slopes safely.

We will return in the afternoon, around 15:00, after about 7 hours of activity.

The activity is suitable for everyone over the age of 15. Minors may also participate on their own, without a parent accompanying them.
