Day 0
5:00 PM briefing – Meet with your IFMGA guide at the office, via call, or over the phone—whichever you prefer. We want to get to know you to ensure we meet your expectations. We will review the details of your equipment and prepare the plan for the following day, taking into account your training level, weather conditions, and snow quality.

Day 1
Kick off your ski mountaineering adventure by meeting your guide at Passo dei Salati. As we check your gear together, the adrenaline will start to build as we prepare to take the Monterosaski lifts to Punta Indren.

From the Punta Indren cable car station at 3275 m, we will put on our skins and unlock our ski heels, beginning a challenging and rewarding ascent to Pyramid Vincent. For about 4 hours, every step will give you a sense of achievement, with spectacular views unfolding before you at each turn.

Once we reach the summit, the hard work will be rewarded with a thrilling 2000-meter off-piste descent, filled with excitement and freedom. At the end of the day, you’ll carry with you the memory of climbing Pyramid Vincent, the satisfaction of reaching the peak, and the unforgettable images of the breathtaking landscapes that accompanied you on your descent.

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.
