The vertical route Carbonare / Cornetto has recently been restored and follows the traces of the historic ski slope that was closed in the year 1966. It is a route suitable for ski mountaineering, snowshoes and hiking. More and more new off-piste lovers come here to climb up this mountain between uncontaminated spaces and wild nature. It has a North / Northeast exposure with good snow resistance.

From the top of the Cornetto mountain, at 2070 meters of altitude, the 360° view on the surrounding mountains is amazing. You can see the Adamello, the dolomitic Brenta Group, the Marmolada and, to the south, the Mount Pasubio.

Equipment

For all ski-mountaineering activities, the proper apparel is strongly recommended. Skiers must bear in mind that temperatures can dip quickly and garments should also be suitable for snowy conditions (such as waterproof Gore-Tex jackets). Furthermore, gloves, cap, sun glasses and sun cream should also form part of every off-piste skier’s basic gear.

It’s also important to bear in mind that tight fitting or insufficiently waterproof ski boots can cause frostbite.

It’s also COMPULSARY to carry with you an avalanche rescue kit consisting of avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel.

A suitable helmet and other safety equipment are also strongly recommended (avalanche airbags etc.).
