Description

Italy is a first-class destination for ski touring. On top of the wonderful terrain, we get to enjoy the unparalleled local hospitality. That is why I organized this 6-day ski touring program in Gran Sasso.

Gran Sasso is an Italian mountain located in the central region of the country, in Abruzzo. It is one of the main highlights of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park, in the Apennines mountain range.

The Apennines, compared to the Alps, have lower altitudes and don’t have glaciers. But this doesn’t diminish their appeal. They have an incredible wilderness, natural and environmental values ​​that have been lost in the populated and exploited Alps.

In particular, the Gran Sasso group, from a strictly mountaineering point of view, does not miss anything. We find rocky walls, deep valleys and often abundantly snow-covered terrain.

During this week we will ascend different beautiful peaks such as Monte Rapina, Monte Pesco Falcone, Camicia, Monte Aquila and Monte Rotella. Have a look at the itinerary below for more detail.

Interested in this wonderful ski touring program? Then don’t hesitate to book this trip and start daydreaming of it! And if you are looking for a basic ski touring course, have a look at this one in Italy.

Nico

poor weather limited the experience. We had hoped for a guide more familiar with the area, our first and last night were in a remote place requiring an hours walk. We only learnt about this on the day of departure. otherwise no problems
