Here are some suggestions for winter adventures. 
Heli-skiing: Valle d'Aosta represents one of the best places for the practice of heli-skiing in the world. Skiing using the helicopter as a lift facility is certainly an unforgettable experience. Heli-skiing is allowed only with the assistance of alpine guides. Ski touring: Valle d'Aosta is a exellent reference point for ski mountaineering. It is an activity that combines the characteristics of Alpine skiing with other activities deriving from mountaineering. Ice climbing: During the coldest months of the year, when the waterfalls take on a different aspect, as they are transformed to ice, you can practice ice climbing in plenty of places around the region,  particularly in Cogne, with over 150 waterfalls.
