Discussing Winter Walks, Skiing and Snowshoeing Itineraries

office hour

An opportunity to plan your days over a sociable pre-dinner drink

Each evening (except Thursday, our day off) between 6 and 7pm we host Office Hour in Corvara and Pedraces Badia. This is far more relaxed than its name suggests and some people just drop in for a drink and to share the day’s experiences with friends, who may have been doing other things. Office Hour is ideal for meeting people with similar interests in a sociable atmosphere, and often guests who first meet at Office Hour spend many enjoyable days together in the mountains.

During Office Hour you can chat with our organisers, who have plenty of local knowledge, and arrange to join one of the organised walks or Via Ferrata they are proposing for the following day. Equally, if you prefer to walk or climb independently, then you are free to browse through our Ideas & Information files and our organisers will provide you with as much help as they can when it comes to planning your next day out in the mountains.

Ultimately, whether you choose to join our programme of organised walks or Via Ferrata or if you prefer to walks or climb independently, you are free to do as you please from one day to the next and the aim of Office Hour is simple - to help you get as much out of your holiday as possible.
