Full description
Be enchanted by the breathtaking view from 2000 metres above sea level by taking part in a half-day snowshoe hike on the Majelletta. An experienced guide will lead you along an 8 km route of medium difficulty.
From Pretoro, you will climb with snowshoes on your feet up to the Majelletta ridge and stop to observe a wonderful panorama from the Rifugio Pomilio, at an altitude of 1888 metres. Your gaze will embrace a panorama that includes the Adriatic Sea on one side and the Majella mountain range on the other, immersed in the muffled silence of the mountains.
Join us for a unique experience!
What we will do
The meeting is at 9.30 a.m. in Pretoro (CH), where our guide will be waiting for us, who will accompany us along the route up to almost 2000 metres. We will put ourselves to the test on a route about 8 km long and with an altitude difference of about 400 metres.
After handing over our snowshoes and poles (included), we will set off on the hike. We will hike along mountain paths until we reach the historic Rifugio Pomilio, located at an altitude of 1888 metres. We will face a wonderful natural path, immersed in the silence and enchantment of the mountain landscape.
Once at the refuge, we will enjoy a truly exceptional panorama. The view will go from the sea to the mountain: we will have the Adriatic Sea on one side and Mount Camicia and Mount Prena on the other. On clear days, the view reaches as far as Monte Conero and the Gargano.
If the weather is favourable and the paths passable, we will leave the refuge and continue on to the Madonnina della Neve in Blockhaus, where the panorama becomes even more impressive thanks to the Vallone di Santo Spirito di Fara San Martino.
We will then retrace our route back to the starting point. The snowshoe hike lasts a total of about 4 ½ hours.

The hike is suitable for everyone, from 13 years old and up.
