In the Aosta Valley, a favourite destination for ski mountaineering enthusiasts and the scene of great competitions such as the legendary Mezzalama Trophy, ski mountaineering is practised for several months of the year, when the snow allows from November to June.

The great variety of itineraries allows everyone to find routes suited to their skiing and athletic ability: from ascents of a couple of hours on open slopes to multi-day routes on glaciers. The peaks that can be reached on skis are many, and among them is the Gran Paradiso, the only 4000 m peak entirely on Italian territory. Find your itinerary here.

Recommendation: before setting off on a ski mountaineering route always check the weather conditions and the snow and avalanche bulletin and leave equipped with ARTVA, shovel and probe.
A mountain guide is always recommended.
