Day 1: Welcome

Meet your guides and fellow safari goers at 6:00 pm in the hotel in Tires. Over welcome drinks you will be issued your lift pass and be briefed about the procedure for the week. Excess baggage may be left here if not required during the safari.

Day 2: Obereggen - Alpe di Lusia

We start out on the sunny open slopes under the rugged cliffs of the Rosegarden Range. From the Rosegarden Hut at 2,370 m we ski the long 1,250 v.m. run down to Nova Levante where a taxi waits to take us to Obereggen (25 minutes) and the modern ski area on the Latemar with its 65 km of cleared runs and cosy mountain bars. In the late afternoon we ski to the other side of the valley and the Alpi di Lusia. Our overnight stay will be at 2,050 m in a traditional mountain guesthouse with shared facilities and a spectacular view of the Pala group, the Latemar and the Catinaccio.

Day 3: Pala group

After some thrilling runs down the well cleared runs of the Lusia or some interesting off-piste excursions, it is on to the Rolle Pass and the ski area of San Martino di Castrozza with more choices of off-piste skiing for the adventurous ones. Here we will spend 2 nights in a *** Hotel in San Martino di Castrozza or on the Rolle Pass.

Day 4: San Martino di Castrozza

Tognola, Malga Ces, and the Ski Carousel of S. Martino have approx. 60 km of cleared open and forest runs. The cable car to the Rosetta (2,740 m) is in good conditions , opens steep, long, off-piste areas between the huge craggy cliffs.

Day 5: Passo San Pellegrino

We ski the steep northfacing slopes and wide long runs from Col Margherita to Passo San Pellegrino with its sunny slopes and frequent spring snow conditions. In the afternoon there is the long 1,300 v.m. run to Falcade where our transfer meets us to take us to Sotto Guda at the foot of the Marmolada Glacier.

Day 6 : Pellegrino - Civetta

Long piste tour from Col Margherita (2,530 m) down to Falcade (1,200 m). Transfer to Alleghe, an extensive ski region at the foot of the Civetta with approx. 85 km of piste. Skiing with a marvellous panorama view awaits us! Overnight in Sotto Guda , a small mountain village at the foot of the Marmolada (1,250 m).

Day 7: Marmolada - Fassa Valley

The wide northfacing slopes of the glacier provide ample off-piste excitement and its long perfectly cleared runs are a skier's dream. (Unfortunately the glacier is open only when weather conditions permit.) We then ski via Arrabba and Canazei to the areas of the Gardena Valley: Seceda (2,520 m), descend to Ortisei (1,200 m). Transfer (approx. 20 minutes) back to our final overnight stop in Siusi at the "Pension Profanter".

Day 8: Departure

Our ski safari week ends after breakfast.
