Scialpinismo nelle Orobie Valtellinesi

The valleys of the Orobie Valtellinesi have a roughly north-south orientation and are enclosed by severe mountains with steep slopes. The slopes full of ski mountaineering itineraries have exposures mainly from north east to north west (with a few exceptions) and allow you to find snow in excellent conditions for most of the ski season. Although many are easily accessible, the most popular itineraries are flanked by little-known routes, which offer ski mountaineering for research and exploration, in which it is not uncommon to have to track with your skins for the entire ascent, up to the slopes on which to leave your first ruts on the untouched snow on the fun descents. This guide was created with the aim of collecting the main ski mountaineering itineraries of the Orobie Valtellinesi and offering an almost complete overview to those who feel the desire to explore this wonderful geographical area, often wrongly overlooked because many itineraries among its valleys are not included in the list great classics, perhaps repeated every season.
