Today, the seasonal rules that once decreed that ski-mountaineering and snowshoe outings were activities exclusively relegated to the spring are a thing of the past.
Now, an increasingly large number of trails can be glimpsed as soon as the first sprinkling of snow makes its appearance on "our" mountains. These mark a search for silent, uncontaminated spots, where visitors can savour the purity of the Alps.
The itineraries described in this section have been selected and prepared by Franco Gionco, who is a great expert as well as a great lover of the mountains. He boasts an array of collaborations with specialist magazines and has prepared reports on ski-mountaineering, travel, and adventure all around the world, in every season of the year.
He has worked in the sector for more than ten years, promoting sport and respect for nature. For his efforts, Gionco has been bestowed the highly prestigious and internationally renowned Fair Play Mecenate "Lo sport oltre lo sport" award.
The itineraries contained here are described in a very essential manner to discourage dangerous improvisations.
All those who require further information on the descriptions of the itinerary are invited address these to a companion with proven skills as well as to the Alpine Guides present in all of Trentino's most important locations.
