An authentic mountain adventure, between silence, nature, and breathtaking views

Ski mountaineering is one of the purest and most exciting ways to experience the mountains in winter. Step by step, you earn the climb in the silence of snow-covered landscapes, then enjoy the freedom of skiing down pristine slopes. A ski mountaineering day with the Cervino Guides is all this — and more.

Valtournenche and the entire Valle d’Aosta offer endless possibilities: from gentle, panoramic routes perfect for beginners or for those who simply want to relax, to challenging technical ascents for expert skiers. Wherever you go, the scenery will leave you breathless.

Programme

A typical day

The adventure begins in the morning with a briefing and equipment check. Together with your guide, you’ll choose the best itinerary based on conditions and your level. Then comes the ascent on skins, through forests, valleys, and glacial bowls. After a well-earned break on the summit or at a scenic viewpoint, it’s time for the highlight: the descent on fresh snow, along safe and carefully chosen lines. Return in the afternoon.
