34Winter affords a whole range of opportunitiesto stay in touch with nature.Away from the more traditional winter pastimeslinked to the ski slopes, recent yearshave seen the growth in popularity of alternativeactivities which permit lovers of peaceand the silence of the mountains to immersethemselves in a natural unpolluted environment,well away from noise and crowd.One such discipline is that of outings on snowrackets, which are simply worn on your feetand allow anyone to move with agility in freshsnow. In Valle Spluga the sport has made aconsiderable impression, so much so thatregular excursions are now organised tosome of the most beautiful parts of the valley,occasionally at night with a full moon lightingthe way. Modern technology and materialshave facilitated the development of snowrackets in differing styles, importantly combininga lightness, with comfort and essentially- practical to use. Of course if you prefer tohead off in the mountains on your own, askat local tourist information outlets for the bestroutes to tackle in absolute safety.Staying with those who are looking to keepwell away from noise and crowds, there’severy opportunity to try excursions on skis orscialpinismo as its known. Climbing throughthe pure, unadulterated snow of the valleysides before launching yourself downhill onthe same fresh slopes is an extraordinaryexperience, creating an intimacy, a bond almost,between skier and mountain. Withinthe valley there are any number of courses orlessons to be had for anyone who would liketo become more familiar with this fascinatingsport. Besides the actual equipment necessaryfor such outings - available for hire atmany local shops - it’s worth getting hold ofl’Arva the position indicator used in the eventof an avalanche.Alpine guides offer organised outings regularlyduring the season, heading towards thesummits and always aware of the prevailingstate of weather and snow.And then of course there’s cross-countryskiing: in the Campodolcino region you canchoose from a range of differing routes, modelledon whatever your taste and capabilityhappens to be. The Iseli run, within the localityis an easy option and takes off along asteady, level course. It’s a circular path andcovers around six kilometres, leaving theCorti district and reaching as far as Pietra.Further afi eld at Motta there’s a circuit of fi vekilometres much more technical in nature, goingthrough woodland with considerable variationsin gradient. Finally at Fraciscio there’sa picturesque 3 kilometre route invariably inexcellent condition.
