The routes

Very beautiful drip. Carefully analyse the thickness of the ice and, given its orientation, the temperature! 

Passo del Dito is one of the most desired off-piste itineraries in the Alps, a descent for many but nevertheless not for everyone. The +50° upper section is no wider than two meters across and this is best descended with...

Cima Le Sorti is one of the few south-facing offpiste descents. Which translates into: pure fun with good snow and low temperatures, slush when the temperature rises! Here are two itineraries, the first is better suited to skiers seeing that...

The name may arouse fear, but after a few “Paradisi”, no one fears the devil! I clearly remember the first time I descended this itinerary with Andreas Sarchi, whilst training to become a Mountain Guide. When we reached the col...

Perhaps the most famous off-piste route on the Tonale, Fuoripista Cantiere tackles the upper slopes of the beautiful Val Presena. Also known as Sgualdrino, this valley is a true paradise for off-piste skiing. In the 1970's the owners of the...

A great wide, north-facing slope with a series of different descents. The Paradiso is ideal terrain to learn off-piste skiing seeing that you can return to the groomed piste whenever you want. This itinerary is almost always in condition, even...

This is definitely the most classic trip in the area of the Westfalenhaus refuge. As soon as the conditions allow you to rise above 3000 metres of altitude, a track will appear along the Langental which will lead you to...

With Roter Kogel we are dealing with the longest winter ascent of the area and not only in terms of vertical height gain, but also in terms of length. This is a safe trip which can be undertaken even after...

With Morgenkogel we enter the mountains of Innsbruck’s skiers. Among the various classical itineraries within the city’s surroundings this is one of the closest. Reachable in just over fifteen minutes from the centre, this itinerary together with the nearby Kreuzspitze,...

Tribulaun of Obernberg is one of the pearls in this area. You can look on dozens of Austrian ski mountaineering guide books but there will be no trace of a report of this itinerary. Nonetheless, it is well known locally...

This is definitely the most frequented winter trip in the upper Obernbergtal. Constantly tracked in all conditions and in all weather it resembles a ski mountaineering motorway. So much attention is definitely deserved as it is a short but great...

First ascended from the ground-up with bolts, the route is dedicated to their teacher Franco Cavallaro who, together with Giuanguido Dalfovo, carried out the first repeat and redpoint on 17 November 2008. These commented: "The route climbed by strong Canale...

Route first ascended from the ground up using 10mm stainless steel bolts. Although not top end, the difficulties are continuous and the route is strenuous due to its length. Medium and small camming devices recommend, as well as long quickdraws...

Route first ascended from the ground up using stainless steel 10mm bolts. Although not top end, the difficulties are continuous and the route is strenuous due to its length. Medium and small camming devices recommend.

Varied and interesting climing with some great pitches which need to be protected with trad gear and two difficult bolt-protected slabs.

Magnificent granite climbing which alternates demanding slabs with fantastic cracks.
