Cuneo Ski Mountaineering - Ski mountaineering

The Stura Valley: one of the most enchanting corners of the Maritime and Cottian Alps, an ideal environment for those who love ski mountaineering! In winter, the valley transforms into a true paradise for ski mountaineering!!! Thanks to its territorial conformation, this valley offers opportunities for everyone, beginners and experts, to ski on winter and spring snows with trips of varying difficulty. The ideal destination for those looking for an adventure far from mass tourism to discover still wild corners!!! The “ski de randonnée” also goes beyond the Colle della Maddalena, which remains a good alternative when the snow conditions are not optimal on the Italian side. Our choice is to base ourselves in Sambuco, at the Osteria della Pace, where, in addition to the delicious cuisine and a very varied wine list, you can relax in the hotel SPA after long ski mountaineering trips.

Winter ski mountaineering crossing that starts from the Vermenagna Valley and arrives in the Stura Valley. The Limone - Sambuco is a wild and challenging ski mountaineering itinerary: from the first stages overlooking the sea, you go deeper every day into the heart of the Maritime Alps natural park following a South/North itinerary, in search of powdery snow.

Steep walls and deep cracks in the rock: as soon as you enter Valle Maira, it immediately becomes clear why this treasure chest of woods, small stone villages and jagged peaks has been preserved over the centuries. A valley that with its thousand curves may seem inhospitable at first glance, but which in reality holds breathtaking views and a very long history. We will be guests of Brieis Relais Alpino: a widespread hotel created from the careful and complete renovation of an Alpine village, nestled in this little corner of paradise at 1500 meters in Valle Maira. With skis on your feet you will discover the most remote corners, from the peaks you will admire the giants of the Alps and then down, in a dance of curves, to the valley floor.

A ski mountaineering trip that ideally retraces the historical Cuneo Nizza, a railway line made famous by its numerous tunnels, a route that crosses steep Alpine slopes and marks the transition from the cool Cuneo valleys – covered with snow until late in the season – to the charming Cote d'Azur, with mountains that gently descends towards the sea and to the nearby Provence so close with its lavender scents.

An international ski mountaineering's classic tour, that circumnavigates the Monviso, the "Re di Pietra" of the Cuneo Alps. The great rocky pyramid changes its appearance hour by hour during the path, moving from the severe shadows projected by the north wall, to the beautiful Alevè Wood's slopes, showing finally the vast and boundless panorama of Punta Losetta and Meidassa.
