    From the Rifugio Branca, magnificent ski tours await us. North-facing slopes with impressive glaciers on perfect ski touring mountains. We choose the best peaks according to the conditions and enjoy the ascent, look for great descents in the sulz and recharge our batteries in the lonely and remote mountain world! Depending on the tour, there are short sections where we carry our skis, but always only for a short time. During these days we can also climb Monte Cevedale if the weather is better here!
