In this course with our skis, we'll explore secluded trails through the woods and down fun descents. Together, we'll learn the techniques we need to become independent in this fascinating and respectful way of experiencing the mountains in winter. We'll explore Dolomiti away from the crowds of the slopes step by step, learning what snow and nature teach us, in unforgettable landscape moving from the struggle to the joy of having realized a dream. Every evening we will return tired but satisfied, also experiencing the typical hospitality of the Dolomites...then planning together around a fire the day that awaits us.
