A mountain with 120 kilometers of runs and 1,500 vertical meters, northern exposure with powder snow from November to May, tens of & ldquo; spot and couloir & rdquo; for freeride to draw their own eight perfect in powder snow: no & egrave; a dream but the reality & agrave; Corvatsch, the ski region of & rsquo; Engadine around the corner from St. Moritz and little pi & ugrave; two-hour drive from Milan. Thirteen plants, including a hi-tech cable car leading up to 3303 meters altitude, the Corvatsch, the rides are perfect for this amusement park. A funfair to live in safety.

Eleven angels custodiSi Ueli Furrer called the security officer of the district Corvatsch-Furtschellas and, along with a patrol of 11 people, will & agrave; your guardian angel during a skiing holiday. From its head-quarter which is right in the heart of the mountain, Murt & egrave; s, at an altitude of 2,702 meters, is responsible for organizing the rescue and protect slopes and off-piste skiing avalanche. & Laquo; To ensure the safety of the tracks and a couple of off-piste skiing, use explosive charges carried by the & rsquo; helicopter or by my men, also at the checkpoint of Murt & egrave; s every morning report all of the latest information for freeriders and their safety & raquo; Furrer says. Also at the mountain station of Corvatsch & egrave; can check whether your machine by avalanche (transceiver), essential for those who ski off-piste, it works correctly. In addition there are three points of the ski equipment for the detection of skiers equipped with the Recco avalanche. An interesting initiative linked to the security and freeride & egrave; that of the Mystic Freeride Safety Camp, camp traveling two days designed precisely to explore the techniques of security for the off-piste. The first stage of the season sar & agrave; right at Corvatsch 17 and 18 January (www.mysticfreeride.com). & nbsp; District in size and freeride skialpSono always pi & ugrave; skiers who turn away from the slopes to try l & rsquo; thrill of some curve in the powder and the Corvatsch & egrave; one of the paradises of this new way to experience the mountains. Whether we want to call or freeride freeski, l & rsquo; go for immaculate slopes located in this district one of the temples in the world. No coincidence that every year you meet on the north of Corvatsch the best athletes of the Freeride World Tour for Engadinsnow, one of the historic competitions. Quest & rsquo; year the dates to mark on the calendar are from 5 to & rsquo; February 8. The program provides qualifying Thursday on Igrave; 5 (on Face Forcla), the end (on the north of the Corvatsch) Friday & Igrave; and Saturday. Saturday & egrave; also scheduled an invitational parallel freeride contest. Quest & rsquo; year the event is part of the circuit Freeride World Qualyfier, qualifying for the World Tour. Not & egrave; samples must be to appreciate the joys of freeride & ograve ;. For those who would only observe developments, the terrace of the restaurant at the middle station of Murt & eacute; l & egrave; perfect perch & eacute; right in front of the north face of Corvatsch. For those who want to try, c & rsquo; & egrave; only l & rsquo; spoiled for choice, perhaps accompanied by a guide. The & ldquo; spot & rdquo; pi & ugrave; & Ldquo; cool & rdquo ;? I say local Furtschella Couloir and D & uuml; rrenast. There is also another way to enjoy the pristine snow, ski touring. In this case we go back to the slopes thanks & rsquo; application under ski skins. From the mountain station or intermediate Corvatsch there are some trips to & rsquo; inside the spectacular world of glaciers in the Bernina. For example that the Chap & uuml; tschin (3,386 m) or at the shelter Chamanna Coaz (2,610 m) and pi & ugrave; in general in the group of Rosatsch. Welcome snowboarderNaturalmente one of the highest expressions of & rsquo; go off piste & egrave; with a table at the foot and the Corvatsch & egrave; one of the resort & agrave; pioneer in Europe. Here gi & agrave; in the eighties have seen the first snowboard with the strange rope that started from the tip and held in his hands & hellip; For them and for freestylers, plus so much snow powder, c & rsquo; & egrave; Also the park with Rails 20, 12 Kickers, a halfpipe of 130 x 6.8 meters in height and Bagjump (a mattress of 15 x 15 meters) where land softly after evolutions Doc. & nbsp; & nbsp;

Argentera
Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
