CathySanderson Hi, Anyone got any pointers or advice on day tours or good off-piste in the Aosta Valley? Looking at 10 days or so there in March? Thanks, Cathy SilvanoDossan Hi Cathy This link has a really good list of Ski Tours in the Aosta Valley. https://www.lovevda.it/en/sport/ski-touring/itineraries A few days ago I went up to Col Serena. North facing so even with the warm weather had reasonable snow conditions. https://www.lovevda.it/en/database/7/ski-mountaineering/saint-rhemy-en-bosses/col-serena/2707 As for good off-piste, weather permitting you can't beat a day on the Vallee Blanche. A day at Cervinia / Zermatt is worth a visit, leave early and ski over to the Rothorn. Otherwise any resort with good snow, which is sadly hard to find these days. Regards Log in to post comments PaulKaras Hi Cathy - you'll also find some ideas from the club yearbook articles on Aosta/Gressonay meets. There are also some good guidebooks (available in Italy) - Orizzonti Bianchi and Val D'Ayas Scialpinismo. Have fun! Log in to post comments CathySanderson Many thanks for the advice!
