Discover the hidden gems of the Cortina ski area during this four-day hut-to-hut ski tour to Cortina d'Ampezzo. From the World Cup downhill at Tofana to the challenging slopes of Faloria. From Venice Airport you reach your destination within 2 hours, to start your skihuttour the next morning.
Skiing a hut-to-hut tour to Cortina is truly an experience. We'll ski the beautiful blue slopes from Pomedes, and for the 'cracks' there is the World Cup downhill for women. And what about the super quiet ski resort of Faloria? Especially in the morning we will be the only ones on the slopes.
Before and after the tour you will sleep in B&B Villa Vittorio.
As we are relatively close to Venice, we are also easily accessible by plane. Perfect for a short break! From Venice Airport it is about a 1:15 hours drive to Forno di Zoldo. There are also busses running to Longarone (about 1 hour), which is located at the beginning of our valley. From there we can arrange a transfer for you.

After a good night's sleep in B&B Villa Vittorio, we will start the first day of our ski tour in the quiet Civetta ski area. We will ski to Selva di Cadore and then take the bus to the 5 Torri Cortina ski area, from where we will go to the Cortina ski area. After a wonderful afternoon of skiing, we sleep in a beautiful refuge in the Faloria area.
This second day we'll use the morning to ski in the wonderfully quiet ski resort of Faloria, the hidden gem of Cortina. After that we will go back to the 5 Torri where we will sleep in a beautiful hut at altitude.
After descending first to the gondola, we will go back up again to descend through the hidden valley. One of the most beautiful and longest runs in the Dolomiti Superski Area. Below, the horses will take us to the next area, from where we will ski to the foot of the Marmolada glacier. That's where we will spend the night.
Today is the last day of our group tour. We will rise in time to catch the first gondola to the Marmolada glacier. There, the beautiful ridges are waiting for us to be the first to be skied. Then we go up again to admire the beautiful view. After conquering the Marmolada 2 times, we will take the bus back to the Civetta ski area. There we can discover this fantastically quiet ski area all afternoon until we descend to the Zoldo valley, from where we'll go back to Villa Vittorio.
BergXperience is a small organization, operating from our own B&B in Forno di Zoldo. We literally welcome you at our home and are happy to help you decide what to take with you and what not to take with you in your backpack. What you don't bring with you can leave it safely with us in the B&B until we get back. Both before and (of course) during the hut-to-hut tour, we are always willing to answer all your questions.

Not included in the price:
A deposit of € 150 is required when booking,-. This amount must be paid within 2 weeks after booking. The total amount must be paid no later than 6 weeks before departure. If you book within 6 weeks before departure, you must pay the entire amount at once.
About 4 weeks before the start of your tour I will send you a confirmation and general information about your trip by email.
The first and last night of the hut to hut tour you will stay in Villa Vittorio, our own B&B. Villa Vittorio has some doublerooms and more-bed rooms. There is a shared bathroom.
Dinner at Villa Vittorio Dinner is not inlcuded in the overnight stay at Villa Vittorio. But of course we won't let you go to sleep without dinner. The first evening we will have dinner at the pizzeria in the village below (10 miutes walk). The last evening we will end with a dinner at, a restauarnt with local specialties, to end our nice tour together in style. The costs for both dinners are not included in the total price.
In the rifugios you will sleep in a multi-bed room or a dormitory. The bathrooms are always shared in the rifugios. When you arrive at the refuge you will be asked to fill in the menu. The rifugios offer a 3-course menu: a primo piatto (1st course), a secondo piatto (2nd course) and a dolce (dessert). The next morning at 7:30 the breakfast will be served, so we can leave in time.
Although rifugios have long ceased to be simple mountain huts, you shouldn't expect the luxury of a hotel either. Compare it to a simple guest house. It is still a stay on top of the mountain, where all the supplies have to be brought up and all the waste has to be transported back down. The water supply may also be limited at altitude. For example, not all refuges have drinkable tap water.
As you will bring all your luggage for the tour in your backpack, it is important to pack as little as possible. You carry your own stuff for a large part of the day, so you can take less with you as you are used to. A backpack of 25-30 liters is more than enough to carry everything you need in 4 days.
Actually you will only need the following things:
To make it easy for you I enclosed a packing list .
While skiing a hut-to-hut tour, it is important that you can easily and comfortably ski a red slope and you are not afraid of skiing unknown slopes. I try to adjust the route to the level as much as possible, but as we will ski from one area to another, there might not be an alternative to certain slopes and you may have to descend a slightly more difficult slope. Basically, all the slopes we do are red or blue. Black runs are only done in consultation with the group.
