A short uphill section follows to assess fitness, then a medium-length tour introducing basic uphill skills: alternating steps, kick turns, and efficient progression. Dinner and overnight stay at Rifugio Grande Halte

Ascent: variable, depending on group level
Duration: 4–5 hours

Day 2 – Safety and avalanche awareness
A full day focused on safety and trip planning. You’ll learn how to read avalanche and weather bulletins, assess snow stability, and choose the right route for the day.
Practical avalanche rescue training will follow, including emergency call procedures and use of transceiver, shovel, and probe. Dinner and overnight stay aat Rifugio Grande Halte

Ascent: 700–900 m
Duration: 5–6 hours

Day 3 – Guided ski tour and off-piste technique
A medium-length ski tour where you’ll apply all the techniques learned. After reviewing uphill methods, we’ll focus on downhill movement, improving balance, control, and awareness on various snow conditions.

Mountaineering, ski touring, off-piste skiing and trekking take place in a natural, uncontrolled environment.
Weather conditions, snow, ice, terrain, visibility, altitude and physical fatigue can change rapidly and directly affect the course of the activity. For this reason, there is always an inherent level of objective risk, which cannot be eliminated but only managed.

All our activities are led by IFMGA Mountain Guides and Certified Hiking Guides (AMM).
The guide continuously assesses environmental conditions and the physical and mental state of participants, sets an appropriate pace, manages progression and ensures the correct use of equipment. If conditions require it, the guide may modify the itinerary or interrupt the activity, always in the interest of individual and group safety.

Participants are required to be in good physical and mental condition, adequately prepared for the level of the activity, and to follow the guide’s instructions at all times.

Group activities

During group outings, the pace is set according to the slowest participant. In case of fatigue or discomfort, the guide may decide to adjust the programme or return early. In the mountains, the group ascends and returns together.
