Backcountry ski trips: daily and hut to hut tours

As soon as snow falls, the Dolomites put on their winter livery: the air gets cold, the screes and low vegetation disappear under the blanket of snow. Little valleys and steep gullies became varied and entertaining ascents and descents. Inside this rocky labyrinth, which is inaccessible only in appearance, the backcountry ski tours can offer infinite possibilities of fun, of all and each difficulty and tastes. 

Beside the resort, the Dolomites offers a great variety for backcountry ski trips: from easy itineraries to the most difficult routes, where good conditions and mountaineering skills are required. Contact us to find a customised ski touring plan for your guided day.

Here you’ll find some ideas for your customised backcountry skiing holiday: contact us to get a customised plan from 2 to 7 days hut to hut tour or hotel-based week.

We booked Fabrizio to guide us around the Dolomites for six days. Ski touring in different locations utilising both our legs and some lifts to gain elevation, each day was its own adventure and experience. Fabrizio found us fresh powder snow, glaziers, canyons and couloirs to constantly challenge and excite us. Organised great overnight refuges for us to stay in while touring as well our hotel and transfers. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return.

Ski touring trips in the Dolomites

The Dolomites are not highly thought as ski mountaineering and ski-touring spot, especially if compared with western Alps. Nothing could be more wrong! In fact the dolomite terrain is diverse and offers many changes of slope on short distances. So what you can expect from a ski touring day here, is to start skinning from the grazing land altitude and soon be surrounded by the typical high mountain landscape. Different glimpses are waiting over each of the few different saddle, or gullies we usually have to cross in one day. Moreover thankful to a number of “refugios” open during the winter, is possible to do one of the best winter experience you can think about: the ski-touring traverse. Finally, for the most ambitious and experts, the biggest peaks in the Dolomites, such as Marmolada, Tofana, Pelmo, Antelao are all skiable…
