The 2,829-meter Pizzo di Rodes, with its off-center location, is proposed as one of the most compelling and striking peaks to reach, thanks to the splendid Valtellina panorama that remains at its feet.

It is in fact just north of the border between the provinces of Bergamo and Sondrio, in the midst of the highest peaks of the Orobie.

After putting on our skis, we follow the road that will lead us to Pizzo di Rodes. The trail alternates between sections immersed in striking spruce forests and stretches with pastures and spectacular views, such as Punta Santo Stefano or Pizzo del Diavolo and Diavolino. In some places the trail becomes particularly steep and technical, especially near the summit of Pizzo, and thus forces you to zigzag between rocks and shrubs.

Once at our destination, the panorama opens 360° around us and gives unforgettable emotions. After a ritual photo it is time to enjoy the very long descent, which heralds great skiing on the fresh North Orobic snow.
