Information about the ski mountaineering excursion to Cristallino di Misurina

The ski mountaineering itinerary starts at an elevation of 1476 meters. We reach the Marogna Bridge by car on the road from Carbonin to Misurina. The trail goes up the riverbed of Rio di Val Fonda to a gateway to a magnificent canyon leading to the great amphitheater surrounded by the majestic north face of the Popena and Cristallo Mountains.

At first the climb continues along a narrow gully that we handle carrying our skis on our backpacks; then we follow on skis on an icy basin along slopes and ridges. When we reach the base of Forcella Michele, in beautiful surroundings, we climb on foot the narrow and steep gully leading us to the Forcella del Cristallino at an elevation of 2666 meters.

We start our descent on the opposite side, along a steep gully that later opens up into a marvelous, wide and deep valley over 1200 meter long. The last stretch descends into a nice forest where we follow a ridge taking us to the riverbed and finally to our starting point.

The ski mountaineering excursion to the Cristallino di Misurina has a 1300-meter elevation gain both on the way up and down. It requires good training and great ski mountaineering technical skills with an OSA (Excellent Mountain Skier) difficulty rating. The incline is up to 40 degrees.
