Full description
Who said that winter is only for being cooped up? Challenge it with snowshoes on your feet, in the snowy landscape of Sappada!
In this approximately 2-hour experience, a local guide will accompany you through forests, mountain huts and pastoral roads, telling you about the mountain world in all its purity and fragility.
You will reach the Ziegelhütte, a small lake set among the trees, after an easy route that is also suitable for a first snowshoe hike. Banish laziness!
What we will do
The meeting point is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Sappada (UD). Here we will meet with our instructors and guides, who will accompany us on this snow adventure!
Before setting off, we will be given snowshoes and poles (included) . Once we are ready, we will participate in an introductory briefing: the guide will give us some notions about winter Nordic walking, cold management, safety in a snowy environment and the peculiarities of the area.
We will then begin our snowshoe hike along whitewashed pastoral roads, passing by the Mondschein hut. From here, we will enter the Digola forest, a fascinating environment that still bears the marks of the 2018 Vaia storm, the history and consequences of which the guide will tell us.
We will continue on mostly flat terrain, with a short final ascent, until we reach the Ziegelhütte lake, where we will take a short break to enjoy the atmosphere of the place. After the break, we will return along the same route to the meeting point. The route will be about 4 km long, with 150 m of positive altitude difference.
The experience will last about 2 hours in total.
