Austria & Italy Skiing in the Alps 2020

Saturday Feb. 22 thru Friday, Mar 6
Ski in the Austrian Alps and the Dolomites in Italy
Classic Nordic Groomed Trails with Downhill Option

The trip is rated all abilities and is geared towards intermediate cross country and optionally type 3 downhill skiing. The group will mainly be a mix of intermediate through advanced so slower skiers will probably be self-lead, but we have excellent maps. The groomed trails are unparalleled experience for an XC enthusiast. For the downhill aficionados, this is the trip of a lifetime where you can check off circumnavigating Sella Ronda from your bucket list.
