Renowned as one of the most stunningly beautiful mountain ranges, the Dolomites also offer dramatic skiing to match. It is a five day back-country skiing loop itinerary around the Fannes - Sennes - Braies Dolomiti Ampezzane and Puez - Odle Dolomitic Natural Parks.
This tour includes many of the best descents in the area: long runs down remote valleys, dominated by the towering limestone cliffs that characterize the region. The journey covers a lot of ground and in order to maximize your time skiing down, the best use is made of the excellent network of lifts, although skins are required from time to time (about eight hours in total).
In the Dolomites the skiing is only part of the fun, a holiday here would not be complete without making the most of the wonderful local cuisine and culture, so the mixture of charming small hotels and huts have been selected with just this in mind.
