Full description
Have you ever seen the beauty of the stars and how close they seem when you look up in the mountains?
Snowshoeing under the starry sky is the experience you are looking for if you want to experience the magic of the mountains in winter. And the white expanses of Mount Terminillo are the ideal destination to put on your snowshoes and test yourself with this white night adventure!
And what better destination after an evening snowshoe hike than a mountain hut and the warmth of the stove for dinner with friends?
What we will do
We begin our snowshoe hike by meeting our guide at 16:00 at the meeting point in Pian de' Valli.
Time for a brief introduction, we put on our snowshoes and set off on our tour, which covers 6 km (300 m of altitude difference) among gentle slopes, snow-covered woods and amazing viewpoints. Monte Terminillo is an incredible viewpoint from which we can admire the many peaks looming around it and also others farther off in the distance.
The best part of our snowshoeing is coming as the sun begins to set more and more and the white of the snow gives way to the darkness of the sky that is filled with stars. Armed with our torches, we continue our walk, occasionally raising our eyes to recognise the constellations and listen to the stories of the solar system.
On the way back, at around 19:30, we will have dinner at the Sebastiani refuge (included), where the warmth of the stove and the goodness of the typical dishes will refresh us after this walk in the snow. Depending on the route chosen by the guide, the hut may coincide with the initial meeting point or may be reached by a short drive after the snowshoe hike.
Between briefing, snowshoe hike and dinner, the experience will last approximately 6 hours.
Who it is aimed at
The snowshoe hike is suitable for everyone from 6 years of age. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
