Full description
Discover the enchanting landscapes of the Maira Valley, in the province of Cuneo, with a snowshoe hi ke in the silence of the snow-covered woods, among pines, larches and postcard views.
An Alpine Guide will take you along the valley's most suggestive paths, far from the ski facilities and the hustle and bustle of the slopes, for ahalf-day excursion suitable for those who want to spend a few hours in nature undisturbed.
Get ready to ascend the slopes with snowshoes and don't be afraid of fatigue because on your return to the valley, a delicious surprise awaits you: the merenda sinoira, the typical snack of Piedmontese tradition!
What we will do
The meeting point is 15 minutes before the time selected during the booking process at the meeting point in Borgata Brieis in the valley of Marmora (CN). There we will meet the Alpine Guide and the rest of the group and, after a welcome coffee, we will have a briefing on snowshoeing technique and the correct use of the safety kit (both included in the participation fee).
Depending on the number of participants, the level of training and the weather conditions, the guide will choose the most suitable itinerary, with an altitude difference ranging from 500 to 1200 m. In any case, we will move away from the busiest trails and into the unspoilt nature of the Maira Valley.
The activity lasts a maximum of about 5.5 hours (depending on the height difference) and will end with the return to the meeting point, where a merenda sinoira, the typical snack of the Piedmontese valleys based on cured meats and cheeses, will be waiting for us.
