If you want to experience the Dolomites and the Alps in an authentic and active way, winter is the perfect season.
Campo Base Travel offers a variety of winter experiences for those who love nature, sports, and snowy landscapes: ski mountaineering, ski safaris and snowshoeing. These snow activities share the desire to explore the mountains through spectacular itineraries in the Alps, particularly in the Dolomites and in the Nature Parks of Trentino. Most of our programs are based mainly in these areas, but we also have some ski mountaineering itineraries in Northern Europe.
Ski mountaineering is one of the most complete activities to explore the mountains during the winter season. With skis on your feet, you climb snowy slopes and valleys before descending along scenic routes immersed in nature. Our ski mountaineering programs range from hotel-based itineraries to multi-day traverses, all led by certified UIAGM mountain guides ideal for skiers with different experience levels. Our itineraries unfold in the Dolomites and the main mountain ranges of Trentino, mainly in protected nature parks like the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park or the Stelvio National Park, where even in winter the mountain keeps its wild character. Beside these programs in the Alps, we also venture further organizing ski mountaineering trips in the Lyngen Alps or in the Lofoten Islands in Norway, famous for their dramatic slopes that end right by the sea. All our ski mountaineering itineraries are led by experienced UIAGM alpine guides that are very familiar with the territory, and each day select the best route based on snow and weather conditions. During the tour, the guide also explains the basics of safety in the mountains during the winter season, how to use avalanche rescue equipment such as a transceiver (ARTVA), shovel and probe. The guide will also share useful technical tips to help you approach ski mountaineering in a safer and more conscious way.
For those who prefer skiing on the slopes but want to turn their holiday into a journey, our ski safaris in the Dolomites represent a unique experience. A ski safari is a ski itinerary that allows you to ski every day in a different area, linking various alpine villages and ski resorts. On a ski safari in the Dolomites, you have the opportunity to ski on the slopes of the most spectacular areas of the Dolomiti Superski region, one of the biggest ski areas in the world. The itineraries unfold through mountain passes, valleys and charming Dolomites villages giving you the chance to experience skiing as a journey across diverse landscapes, panoramic slopes and mountain traditions. Ski safaris can be undertaken with a guide or independently, following a day-by-day itinerary studied by the Campo Base Travel team, with our support throughout the entire trip. The overnight stays alternate between cozy mountain huts and high-quality hotels, where food becomes an essential part of the experience: traditional mountain dishes, local products and, in some cases, dinners in Michelin-starred restaurants.
Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to experience the mountains at a more relaxed and slower pace. Snowshoes allow you to walk on the snow, crossing snow-covered forests and snowy valleys, reaching panoramic viewpoints far from the ski slopes. Our snowshoeing itineraries take place in the Nature Parks of Trentino and in the most peaceful areas of the Dolomites among forests, alpine huts and panoramic landscapes that become even more magical in winter. Also, in the case of snowshoeing, the tours are always led by expert local mountain guides, that accompany the group along safe routes and reveal the most authentic corners of the winter mountains, with stops at alpine huts or cottages to enjoy traditional alpine dishes.
Whether it’s ski mountaineering, ski safari in the Dolomites or snowshoeing, these snow activities allow you to enjoy an authentic and active winter experience in the Dolomites and the Alps. Campo Base Travel selects the itineraries, and guided programs to create the perfect winter journey for those who want to explore the Dolomites, the Nature Parks of Trentino or the most spectacular mountains in Europe. Our snow activities combine sport, nature and breathtaking views.
