Scialpinismo tra la Svizzera Italiana e Tedesca

Switzerland is undoubtedly the paradise in the Alps for ski mountaineering. This guide aims to become the reference for ski mountaineers who want to break away from the usual patterns: it is aimed at an audience who wants to deepen their knowledge of the Swiss territory, illustrating 66 itineraries considered crucial today for the practice of ski mountaineering in the Central Alps of Switzerland, divided into classic, plaisir and research, some of which are only described in this guide. The Swiss Confederation is extremely varied from a morphological point of view and, for the southern Alpine reader, the choice to practice ski mountaineering in the Central Alps of Switzerland has a notable practical implication: it allows you to pass comfortably from the southern to the northern side of the Alps, thanks to the Gotthard tunnel, and to have a wide choice of itineraries, almost all exciting, some to leave you breathless. In fact, the choice of the best itinerary is facilitated by an efficient infrastructure network that winds through the main chain of the Alps and which allows you to reach superlative valleys with the utmost respect for nature and efficiency. We will then go north of the Gotthard to carry out the great classic Urane, ranging from the Klausen pass to the Furka pass, or to enjoy the gentle slopes of the Uranian and Schwyz pre-Alps. Instead, we will opt for a trip to the Ticino Alps or the western Grisons to immerse ourselves in varied and very often severe and isolated environments. In a certain sense, itineraries aimed at demanding ski mountaineers and lovers of effort, in which you will very often find yourself having to complete the entire route, without meeting a soul.
