Ski mountaineering in Gressoney finds different possibilities of expression: from multi-day trips on the glaciers, in the footsteps of the legendary Mezzalama trophy, to day trips in the wild side valleys. Furthermore, the use of sealskins to combine with ski lifts has become widespread to obtain great descents with little uphill effort.

Off-piste skiing on Monte Rosa is an unforgettable experience. The vast valleys crossed by the slopes leave a lot of space for skiing in fresh snow where you can draw your own track. The variety of terrains and exposures allow you to enjoy descents in perfect woods as in wide sunny slopes, in steeper and more technical channels as in the seracs of a glacier.

On the other hand, those who would like even more extreme experiences can book their heliskiing experience! This practice has become increasingly widespread due to the possibilities that Monte Rosa offers to skiers. In fact, the slopes of this massif offer descents with differences in height up to 3000 meters at a time in wild and isolated environments, often on glaciers, where the guide becomes precious to avoid dangers and fully enjoy unforgettable skiing.

Let one of the Gressoney Sci Alpine Guides accompany you in this world, whatever your level of skiing!

The Society of Alpine Guides of Gressoney Ciaspole organizes beautiful excursions with snowshoes along the most beautiful itineraries of Monte Rosa.

Snowshoes are ideal tools for those who want to discover the winter mountains and do not know how to ski. The quiet rhythms of snowshoeing are perfect even for those who are not trained and allow you to appreciate the peace and tranquility of the mountain in its white winter guise.

The itineraries can have a duration of half or full day.

Obligatory material during the excursions is the ARVA device for the search of avalanche victims.

Contact the Alpine Guides of Gressoney Ciaspole to request more information on costs and itineraries. We will reply as soon as possible.
