Detailed itinerary
DAY 1
Early in the morning you will meet your mountain guide at the arranged place for quickly briefing and equipment check. Then you will drive with a van across Austria to Sexten, Italy (approx. 3 hours). From the Moos village (1400m) you will start the first ski tour. Through a scenic valley along Rio Landro you will skin up to Dreizinnen hut (2438m) and to Sextner Stein peak (2539m, approx.4 hours). From this peak you will enjoy the most spectacular view to the Drei Zinnen mountains and then ski down 1140 vertical meters to the valley. We will sleep in vicinity of beautiful Toblach – Dobbiaco village.
DAY 2
From Toblach – Dobbiaco village you will drive south towards Monte Cristallo mountains group. You will start the ski tour (1450m) walking up along Rio val Fonda in to the heart of Cristallo mountains. Beautiful valley steepens up at the end with the ascent to Passo del Cristallo (2806m, 4 – 5 hours), pass between the top of Monte Cristallo and Piz Popena. After a well-deserved lunch break we hope you will ski down a perfect powder snow because the slopes are north orientated just like the first day. In the late afternoon you will drive to Cortina d’Ampezzo to explore this amazing Olympic town and try some local dishes and wine. You will be accommodated in the vicinity of Cortina.
DAY 3
In vicinity of Cortina just near Fiames village you will start (1450m) with 2 day ski touring in the mountains. You will skin up on some quite technical terrain to reach Bechei di Sopra 2794m peak (4 – 5 hours). From here you will enjoy the view of Tofana massive and the surrounding mountains and valleys. From here you will ski down on sunny slopes of the mountain to the very cosy Lavarella hut (2042m) where you will spend the third night. The hut lies in the heart of the Fanes Sennes Braies Natural park, it has its own beer brewery (the highest in Europe!), delicious South Tyrolian food & wine, sauna and comfortable rooms.
DAY 4
The last day you will start with a short ski descent and then you will walk up to Ciamin saddle and to Ciamin peak (2610m, 2h). From here you will ski down the perfect slopes with 1100 vertical meters back to our parked van. In the afternoon hours you will return back to Slovenia (4h) with big smiles on your faces and an epic journey in your pocket!
