Freeride skiing day in the Val Mesdi, Dolomites

If you love freeriding as much as I do, you cannot miss the chance to spend a thrilling day in the Val Mesdì, at the heart of the wonderful Dolomites.

Located in northern Italy, this amazing tour in the Val Mesdi takes you through a unique valley in the Sella massif, crossing it from south east to northwest.

This freeriding paradise, protected as a UNESCO World Heritage, gives you the opportunity to enjoy a great skiing experience on the best slopes in the area. Despite being a popular descent, not many people have enough courage as to have a taste of Val Mesdì’s slopes. Therefore, this challenging trip is perfect for skiers who dare to enjoy a wild day in a remote paradise.

We will start this sensational day in Passo Pordoi at 2239m. Then we head to Sass Pordoi in a cable car and enjoy the magnificent view of this massif. The Sass Pardoi is also called the “Dolomites’ terrace” because of its particular shape. Once we get there, we will have a short ski descent before we start hiking across the plateau to reach the Boè refuge.

If we are lucky enough and the snow level isn’t too high, we might use only our ski boots to hike; otherwise, we will use skins. After a 45-minutes walk, we will reach the refuge,  where the starting point of the Val Mesdì await us.

This valley is truly amazing! A breathtaking descent will marvel you all the way down with its smashing walls, 600-meters cliffs and jagged towers. We will be able to feel the rush of the air in our faces while we ski down the cool steep terrain of the Val Mesdi.

The town of Colfosco, at the foot of the massif, will be the end of this spectacular freeriding tour. Once there, if we look back, we will be able to see the epic path we have left behind. By ski lift, we’ll go back to Passo Pordoi .

For this trip I can only take a maximum of 5 people. If you are traveling alone, feel welcome to join a group and to enjoy an unforgettable experience!

This is a safe tour and you don’t need to have previous freeride experience. However, in order to have a great time it’s highly recommended to feel comfortable in any kind of  slopes. It’s also mandatory to bring all the necessary equipment for this tour. In case you need it, you can also rent it from me. Please note you also need a good fitness level for a 45-minute hike on the snow.
