The Ortler Traverse - Ski Mountaineering in the Italian Alps
Dates: April 23 - 29, 2012
Cost: $3125.00 Canadian
Includes:1 nite in Sulden, most lifts, hut fees, guiding, group equipment
Somewhat easier than it's more famous neighbor, the Ortler offers first class huts(some with showers) & great food. Oh, did I forget to mention the skiing!
Called the "Capuccino Tour" the Ortler is perfect for a first long tour and for those wishing a relaxed pace. Fabulous vistas of Mont. Cevedale and Pizzini. We spend 2 nights in some of the huts exploring the nearby terrain. Based out of Sulden .

Spring Descents in the Rockies
