MINI COURSE:
Introductory mini-course to the use of useful equipment in winter: appropriate clothing and footwear, snowshoes and sticks. Reading the nivological bulletins and operation of the self-rescue devices in case of avalanche, Artva, shovel and probe.
The #montagna always has its charm, especially in its white robe. The winter season can, however, hide some pitfalls: #sentieri "safe" in summer are not always in winter; the snow can hide the tracks and signs. Some sides can be made slippery or avalanche-prone. In winter the hours of light are lower than in the summer season and the cold temperatures can heavily affect the normal and successful excursion. The mini-course of #MontagnaeSicurezza wants to highlight some of the legal issues at the #escursionismo winter.

✅ All activities will be conducted with THE UTMOST RESPECT for the limitations related to regulations and decrees on the containment of the new SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus. ⚠⚠ limited number of seats ⚠⚠

READING THE DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY:
EASY: The itinerary takes place on forest roads, dirt roads or easy mule tracks always well indicated and without problems of orientation in cases of fog or bad weather. The differences in height are contained within 250-300 meters and the length of the itinerary is within three hours. These are a bit long walks that require a sports hiking shoe, not necessarily the pedula or the boot.
EASY/MEDIUM: The itinerary takes place on forest roads, dirt roads or easy mule tracks always well indicated. The differences in height are contained within 250-400 meters and the length of the itinerary is between 3 - 5 HOURS. These are somewhat long walks that require a hiking sports shoe or boot.
MEDIUM: The itinerary definitely exceeds three hours, it is more complex, takes place on a path with some challenging ascent or descent but passable without the support of mountaineering equipment. The terrain can be bumpy or lack signals. However, the maximum altitude difference remains within 400 meters.
MEDIUM/DEMANDING: The itinerary definitely exceeds three hours, it is complex for the difference in height that can reach 700 meters or for the length of the walk up to 6 hours, it takes place on a path with some challenging ascent or descent but passable without the support of mountaineering equipment. The terrain can be bumpy or lack signals.
CHALLENGING: These itineraries require long experience, training and physical strength from those who follow them. it is necessary to be able to move with expertise even in dangerous soils: scree, steep slopes or steep stretches, dense scrub, high and unreferenced, passages in rock, absence of springs. The difficulty of the terrain and the distance from the support points require total autonomy. Where indicated there may be a need to bring to the following bivouac material such as the tent, bivouac bag, stove, food, requires training, energy and strong motivation.

We "Highland Guides" are the first group of professional guides of the Plateau. We are local guides who have been operating on the territory of the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities since 2008. The belonging to the place by the members of the group ensures an intimate knowledge of the proposed goals and a deeply respectful approach to the environment and its history. Our passions for nature, history and sport have led us to choose a life path based on the study of the environment and local history. Graduates in scientific, tourist and sports subjects such as Forestry and Environmental Sciences, Natural Sciences and Motor Sciences we have also specialized in the historical field with courses recognized by the Province of Vicenza. In order to practice professionally, we are regularly enrolled in the professional registers of Environmental Naturalistic Guide (L.R. n. 33 of 2002 of Veneto), or of Medium Mountain Escort (L.R. 23 July 2013, n.18).
