Snow and ice are the protagonists of this season. Winter season culminates during the Christmas holidays when thousands of people visit Bolzano and the prices are very high. On the other side, there’s a low season in January, with rigid temperature and less people and that’s why it is the best period for us to speed on ski slopes/trails or to ascent the ice-climbing walls. From February to March there’s a high season again but there are milder temperatures to enjoy sunny days and the stable snow for the ski mountaineering tours.

As logistic base you’ll stay at the apartment Santner di Vols at the Schlern, the B&B by Helmuth and Brigitte in the very heart of the Central Dolomites. From here you’ll start with your guide to do excursions in everyday changing places. The following proposal is only one example of how to pass one week in the Dolomites.

Day 1
Arrival at the airport of Innsbruck, Verona or Venice, basing on your flight plan and move by train to Bolzano where you will be picked up in station by your guide which will take you directly to B&B Santner di Vols. In the evening you’ll be briefed about the excursions in the following days.

Day 2
Short introductive excursion to the Malga Hofer in the fantastic environment of the Suisi Alps. Two hours of walking in which we’ll refine the technique of moving on snow with snow boots.

Day 3
A day in Val di Fassa. We’ll go to the Val di Fassa and walk up to the lateral Val San Nicolò where – incredible to see – we’ll climb up to the Cima Undici. Possibility to break up at half way at Malga San Nicolò. 6 hours of walking on the top of the hill, 2 ½ hours to Malga San Nicolò.

Day 4

Panoramic day in altitude in the Sella Group. We’ll reach the Pordoi Pass and climb up the peak by cable railway for almost 300 meters. Further on, we’ll descend to the Refugio della Forcella going ahead to Rifugio Boè. Same way back. Relaxing day including 2 hours of walking.
Day 5
A day in Val Sarentino. We’ll reach Val Sarentino, as you prefer, by a brief walk to a refuge nearby or by climbing a peak; it will depend on the weather.
