Full description
Enjoy themagical atmosphere of the snowy forests at sunset or in the moonlight with asnowshoe hike at Rifugio Zoia, in Lanzada (SO), in the heart of Valmalenco.

What we will do
The meeting with the Alpine Guide will take place at Rifugio Zoia in Lanzada, a municipality in Valmalenco, in the province of Sondrio.
We will meet the Alpine Guide, prepare ourselves by wearing snowshoes (if we don't have them, we can rent them directly on site, together with poles), have a short briefing on the route , and then set off on one of the many snow-covered paths that wind up from the mountain hut.
The snowshoe hi ke will take place at sunset or in the evening - depending on the date chosen - and in both cases we will enjoy amagical experience, with the snow coloured in the shades of the setting sun or the full moon.
The woods and mountains of Valmalenco will be a perfect setting for one of the most popular winter activities for young and old.
During thesnowshoe hi ke, we will move around the area around Rifugio Zoia, on a ring-route that is completed in about 2 ½ hours, with 350 m of altitude difference.
