Skitouring guide SKI MOUNTAINEERING IN LOMBARDY AND GRISONS German version

Browse, dream and go!

A few years have passed since the first edition, and a lot of snow has passed under the skis, often in years with very little snow, difficult for skiing well and safely, but above all for taking nice photos. Of course we didn't stay at home watching in front of the fireplace, and maybe going a little further than usual, we managed to ski well, certainly not always in powder, but still skiing. And there was no shortage of opportunities to take some nice photos.

In this second edition, 19 itineraries have been added and some of the trips already present in the guide have been improved/integrated. The layout of the pages has also been improved and the maps have been completely renewed, I would say decisively. Some improvements had already been made with the reprint, such as the practical summary tables at the end of the guide, and in short now all that remains is to browse, dream and go!

Giorgio Vale, from Brianza, born in 1983, an engineer by profession, who loves the mountains of Lecco and its surroundings as soon as he can. CAI Ski Mountaineering Instructor, AINEVA Snow Observer, with a lifelong passion for the mountains, be it MTB, skyrunning, climbing, mountaineering or simple hiking.

When he approached ski mountaineering, the spark was ignited: in a short time he covered most of the classic climbs between Valtellina, Lario and Grigioni, and then dedicated himself to discovering the less frequented and more sought-after itineraries. Winter, long approaches and significant differences in altitude are ingredients that cannot be missing from the ideal trip. If necessary, it is not uncommon to find him skiing in Valle d'Aosta, Trentino, Switzerland, the Apennines or Sicily.
