Dolomites ski touring. Three Natural Parks Loop
One of the most interesting and memorable tours through the dramatic Dolomite mountains. A wonderful week of ski touring amidst truly spectacular limestone scenery.
Renowned
as one of the most
stunningly beautiful mountain ranges, the Dolomites also offer dramatic
skiing
to match. It is a five day back-country skiing
loop itinerary around the
Fannes - Sennes- Braies Dolomiti Ampezzane and
Puez-OdleDolomiticNaturalParks.
This tour includes many of the best descents in the area: long runs
down remote
valleys, dominated by the towering limestone cliffs that characterise
the
region. The journey covers a lot of ground and in order to maximise
your time
skiing down, the best use is made of the excellent network of lifts,
although
skins are required from time to time (about eight hours in total). In the Dolomites the skiing is only part
of the fun, a holiday
here would not be complete without making the most of the wonderful
local
cuisine and culture, so the mixture of charming small hotels and huts
have been
selected with just this in mind.
