Ski Touring at Cinque Torri area

The characteristic profile isn’t comprised of just five towers, but by a mass of secondary boulders, fractured towers and peaks sprinkled liberally across the entire area.Complete a half circle of the Cinque Torri, or take the more challenging trail across the boulders, and reach Rifugio Scoiattoli (2,255m / 7,398′). Enjoy a deliciouls lunch of traditional cuisine and the beautiful views from the terrace of the rifugio before your final descent on the slope to Bai de Dones, and take a transfer back to your hotel.
