Full description
Starry snowshoeing: this is the programme for your evening!
With a UIAGM Alpine Guide you will walk among the snow-covered pastures and mountain pastures of Lessinia, following a simple and panoramic route, illuminated only by the stars and your head torch.
A 2-hour experience full of poetry, for those who are not satisfied with the usual outings!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point at Malga San Giorgio, in the municipality of Bosco Chiesanuova (VR). Here we will meet the Alpine Guide, who will accompany us on our night snowshoe hike!
After handing over our snowshoes, poles and headlamp, we will participate in an initial briefing to familiarise ourselves with the equipment and the route.
We will then begin our ring-shaped snowshoe hike at an altitude of 1, 500 metres, moving through snow-covered pastures and alpine pastures of Lessinia, alternating between stretches in the silence of the night and panoramic viewpoints, with views of the moonlit peaks. The difference in altitude will be around 200 metres, with no exposed passages.
We will walk immersed in the stillness of winter, with the beam of the headlamp illuminating the snow and our gaze occasionally losing itself among the stars. At the end of the hike, we will return to the starting point. For those who wish, it will be possible to stop for dinner at the refuge (optional and with payment on site) .
The experience will last approximately 2 hours.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable for ages 10 and up; minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Good general physical condition is required: you must be able to walk for 2 hours on snowy ground.
The route is of an easy level, also ideal for a first snowshoe hi ke.
