Skiing in Varaita Valley, Italian alps.

Post by Giorgio 88 » Tue Dec 14, 2021 12:03 pm

Hi everyone, it's my first post in this section. Finally I was able to test my new Fischer Outback 68. What you see is a forest road that goes up the valley and runs on the watershed between the Varaita and Maira valleys in Italy. In the upper part it had recently been traveled by a military tracked vehicle. Fantastic skiing.

Hi, the photos were taken at 1750 meters above sea level, but the road begins at an altitude of 1000.

Beautiful country Giorgio. The R and L have me curious, are you a transplanted natural English speaker living in Italia?
