An easy track leads us to the homely and welcoming Ferraro hut (2,066 m), where we can enjoy excellent dishes.
On the way up we can learn the basic climbing technique and get familiar with the new tools.
We will find an area near the hut where to practice using the avalanche transceiver. We will also try and search for one or more people buried in the snow.
