The best Sghiada ever!
Imagine a beautiful Cuneo valley, Valle Gesso, beautiful spring snow, a mountain guide like Adriano Ferrero who knows the area like the back of his hand and a group of 5 friends with a passion for ski mountaineering but also with a great desire to have fun together : here you have the perfect ingredients for a “Sghiada”! Four days of ski mountaineering in the mountains behind the house, far from all thoughts and stress (which are quite a lot in this period), thinking only of having fun on skis and partying once you get back to the refuge. The "sghiada" is all of this, and obviously the above ingredients cannot miss a refuge manager like Andrea Cismondi, manager of the Casa Savoia in Terme di Valdieri and of the Valasco refuge, in the heart of Valle Gesso, who made us feel like at home and treated us like gentlemen, in an alpine refuge in the middle of winter. We spent 4 wonderful days in the stupendous Valle Gesso, we made demanding trips such as the crossing to the Punto Nodale or the climb to Rocca La Paur, we skied on beautiful spring snow: but the "sghiada" is not only this, there are not only 4 fantastic ski mountaineering trips, but it's all together, it's an experience to be lived to the fullest of friendship and immersion in nature. No self-respecting ski mountaineer can miss the "sghiade" experience with Adriano Ferrero!
