Now decent snowfalls have finally arrived in the Alps, we are getting a lot of enquiries about our off piste and ski touring trips. A popular one this year is the Gran Paradiso ski tour (click for itinerary), and you can read more about this summit, on our new mountain focus page on this summit (click to view). We’ve produced these mountain focus pages, in our continuing efforts to make our website as much of a useful resource as a sales tool, to help you research a trip more easily.

Gran Paradiso is one of our favourite peaks, and we offer both summer and winter ascents, with no less than 5 different courses which tackle this peak. What makes it stand out for us is the quality of the mountain rifugios, and the quality (and quantity) of food they serve, as well as the fact this area is unspoilt with any cable cars so you make an ascent from the road head to the summit. This makes this summit even more of a satisfying achievement.

The first Gran Paradiso ski tour with spaces is on 22-28 March 2015, and you can monitor live availability (click here) on this, and all our trips.
