A week of introductory-level day tours and great off piste with the option of some steeper couloir descents if conditions and ability allow.
The Dolomites is such a magnificent area for ski touring and off-piste skiing, we have added a second base. This week compliments our Corvara week but with the focus shifted to the south of the range. So, whether you have been to the Dolomites before or this is you first time, you should be on new slopes and venturing over mountains and passes not skied before.

- Day 3: We head off on the lift system to Cortina d'Ampezzo riding in 5 torri, Tofana and Lagazuoi. A mix of off-piste and ski-touring around this area, with the possibility of skiing the Tofana de Rozes (3,262m).
- Day 4: Val d'Arcia in the Pelmo Mountain with the possibility of riding the famous Forca Rossa Couloir (2,600m)/ 800 to 1000m ascent.
