Ski mountaineering in the Dolomites is something very special. The choice of routes is varied, but most offer a combination of unique views, relatively short ascents (sometimes with a little help from a lift), and downhill runs through demanding terrain, with narrow gullies and steep gaps. We recommend the services of a local mountain and ski guide.

Ski tour from Forcella del Pordoi - Val Mezdi - Val Lasties: a famous downhiil route - and rightly so - but not always easy. The route starts at the top of the Pordoi cabieway.

High-alpine downhill run from Forcella del Sassolungo (2,686 m) through the Langkofelkar to Monte Pana.
Ski tour to Forcella Mezdi (2,597 m): ascent from Col Raiser in 2 hours. Ski down to S. Cristina or Longiaru.
