Anyone got any ideas for some good o/p near the Sella Ronda ?

I’m aware of the Val de Mesdi which seems nice and also a few others like the Holzer (not so sure as it has bits 45-50%) as well as the descent from Sass Pordoi to the Podoi pass.  ANy more info very welcome.  Also any info regarding local guides - i.e. not just names but hopefully any recommendations or experiences using.  My wife doesn’t share the same enthusiasm as me for o/p and when I was younger I’d just go off on my own (yes, a bit reckless I know) but with age comes more responsibility.

Cheers in advance

To answer my own post - I’ve found (with a little difficulty) a book called Freeride in Dolomiti by Francesco Tremolada which also contains decent English translations.  It’s quite similar in format to the Guide Vamos books that cover the Trois Vallees and Espace Killy so owners of them will find this a very useful resource.

Still working on the guide bit of my question

There was an article in Figaro this weekend about Alta Badia, nothing about the o/p but some other general information which may be interesting. I’ll try to summarize later.
