Selected alternatives for you

    One of the most beautiful winter ski tours in Alta Valtellina. Varied and complete itinerary in every aspect; scenic, environmental and panoramic. Deserving also for the technical aspect on route selection and for the assured fun on the descent in case of fresh snow, or spring firn, on the wide slopes previously climbed.

    From Arnoga you follow the carriage road that runs halfway up the Viola valley; past the Permoglia huts you reach where the road gradually begins to climb. Almost at the end of the climb, you take the detour to the right for the Sattarona huts and with a few long hairpin bends, gradually to the left, you reach them, arriving at the wooded edge. From the last huts you begin to climb in a northerly direction, following a series of short slopes alternating with vallecole, and you reach the center of the wide valley. Continue in the direction of a rocky spur and pass it on the right, arriving on a ledge. From here you again pass a steep section on an open slope and then in succession another arriving at the beginning of a narrow little valley. Enter in a northwesterly direction and after a few hundred meters turn left arriving on a ridge; follow it first westward then northward arriving at the summit.

    Author’s recommendation

    The route description and trail are approximate and should be verified on site depending on the condition of the snowpack present during the hike.

    Because this is a hike in a snowy mountain environment at high altitudes subject to continually changing snowpack conditions, it is advisable to have adequate experience in ski mountaineering, knowledge of the area, and up-to-date information on snow conditions.

    Accompaniment with a professional guide is recommended.
