Complete paradise.
Alexandra
The organization was impeccable, the guide, Cyril, a friendly star, not stressful even reassuring; he found us good snow even when it was scarce; he played with the weather so that even on snowy days, we could do beautiful things. The group was great, the scenery magnificent! Frankly, it's been a long time since I've had such a wonderful stay! Thank you Cyril, thank you Azimut! When are we leaving again?
Patrick
We've just returned from 4 days of ski touring in Sicily. The organization, the guide Jordi and the people we spoke to on site made our stay a SUPER one! Thank you so much.
