In reply to beardy mike:
On a similar note I particularly enjoy the easy tour from Castello di Andrez up to Mount Sief or the Col di Lana.
I’ve always felt the Italian Dolomites make a great introduction to ski touring, often using the slopes about Col Gallina as a friendly introduction. No significant glaciers, generally not too remote and often under a beautiful blue sky, what more could you want! The generalisation of all dolomiti rock is loose and all Dolomiti skiing is in couloir’s is just not true, but perhaps we should keep that to ourselves!
