The ski mountaineering experience
In February of this year, an abundant snowfall in Valle Maira provided Alessia, Andrea, Gioele, and Marco with unforgettable ski mountaineering days, filled with the thrill of descents through the powder of the woods and traverses across pristine and solitary plateaus.
For them, it was a unique opportunity to discover a territory they were unfamiliar with, which welcomed them with all the beauty that only Valle Maira is capable of.
Video available from November 2023.
