A beautiful spring day with clear blue skies and the sun that warms the bones is the perfect time to start. The goal is to concatenate in a single day 6 Peaks important and significant, known to all ski tourists in Europe.'s Team is ready to draw their ideal line: Franco Nicolini, Omar Oprandi and Mirko leave for Midnight their enterprise.
In a large crossed with ski mountaineering concatenate some of the largest glaciers of western Trentino "bypassing" some of the most important peaks of the region: La Cima Presanella3558 m, Mount Adamello3539 m, the Horn of Cavento3402 m, and finally, the Care Alto3462 m.
Each firm mountaineering and ski mountaineering began as a project and as such has a draft, development and realization. Lovers of athletic movement would say that every company mountaineering is comparable to a work of art that becomes a reality becoming the signature that its author leaves on the side of the mountain facing. It's always like that. This type of companies started already at the end of the nineteenth century. When the pioneers of the snows were engaged in a race for glory with Austrians, the Germans and the British invented and ran and businesses to sign, for example, the first ascents of the highest peaks and difficult.
Like any large project team, this one started with a dream then took the body slowly. The three ski mountaineers, this time, they have simply emulated the path of someone else, but driven by a good dose of healthy competition have wanted to join the various peaks, following them in sequence one after the other.
The team has traveled 60 km of development, with more than 5000 metridi altitude. Un'attraversata very special part from the highest peak of Trentino Cima Presanella 3558 m to reach the Top symbol of the entire area, Adamello 3539 m, passing through all the valleys that lie in the middle. As if that were not enough, the three ski mountaineers once you arrive at the top of the Adamello, still in good time and especially with the necessary forces, they decided to keep going until you reach the High Care. Just a moment, a look of understanding between the three to start towards a new goal: the crossing of glacier flying wing Mandrone (Pian di Neve Western), the summit ridge Cross (famous for the cross dedicated to Pope John), the fallen back on the glacier Lobbia (Pian di Neve Eastern), the difficult climb to Passo di Cavento; here the only break at the Bivouac Lang The path can not be said over until you tap anchela Cimadel Cavento and the long crossed Versola Cimadel Care Alto. Only then did he crosses the finish line of the long adventure. The last downhill in Val di Borzago at this point is only the prelude to the festival and the conclusion of a dream lived in a little less than sixteen hours.
