The routes

Lovely descent of medium difficulty that is, however, sustained for about 800 metres.

Perhaps the most famous off-piste route on the Tonale, Fuoripista Cantiere tackles the upper slopes of the beautiful Val Presena. Also known as Sgualdrino, this valley is a true paradise for off-piste skiing. In the 1970's the owners of the...

Cima Le Sorti is one of the few south-facing offpiste descents. Which translates into: pure fun with good snow and low temperatures, slush when the temperature rises! Here are two itineraries, the first is better suited to skiers seeing that...

This mountain should be situated in every skiing resort in the world as it is easily reached by chairlift and each of its faces can be skied on. Those new to Zürs immediately notice the untracked (in the morning) slopes...

I 3 Orchi, the The 3 Orcs, is a beautiful mixed climb close to Sappada. The first two pitches follow L’orco va in vacanza. Pitch three crosses curtains, drips and some cauliflower-like formations. Reach the belay after a delicate traverse. According to...

Beautiful icefall located close to Lochere close to Lake Caldonazzo in the Valsugana, right at the start of the narrow Val Scura. This drip rarely, if ever, comes into contiona and since it's situated at a low altitude it offers...

The first pitch starts 10m to the left of the route "Pustertaler - Halbgefrohrenes". The pegs are clearly visible on this first section, and the first belay is shared with "Pustertaler - Halbgefrohrenes". The second pitch climbs left above the...

A pleasant and logical mixed climb to the right of the famous Anche l’Orco va in vacanza (Even the Ogre Goes on Holiday). Overall, the difficulty is moderate, but the line is very enjoyable, a perfect combination with the other icefalls nearby. It certainly deserves...

Classic and popular ski mountaineering itinerary to the summit of the highest peak in the Carnia Alps. This route is highly representative of what this mountain range has to offer, with a long and regular sunny descent. The final climb...

If in the morning the sun is shining and fresh snow has fallen it's worth "attacking" east facing slopes such as those close to the Mittagspitze, visible from the Madloch chairlift.

A great wide, north-facing slope with a series of different descents. The Paradiso is ideal terrain to learn off-piste skiing seeing that you can return to the groomed piste whenever you want. This itinerary is almost always in condition, even...

The name may arouse fear, but after a few “Paradisi”, no one fears the devil! I clearly remember the first time I descended this itinerary with Andreas Sarchi, whilst training to become a Mountain Guide. When we reached the col...

Passo del Dito is one of the most desired off-piste itineraries in the Alps, a descent for many but nevertheless not for everyone. The +50° upper section is no wider than two meters across and this is best descended with...

This is an alternative for snowboard freaks and recommended only for expert skiers who have a very good head for heights. The snow must be particularly stable since the descent is on the lee slope of an enormous cornice of...
