Snowshoeing in the Dolomites means going on an adventure among the most beautiful mountains in Europe. The Eastern Alps mountain range, which stretches between Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a true monument of nature and landscape.
Snowshoeing in the Dolomites is among the winter outdoor activities best suited to those who seek a close-to-nature experience and want to experience the mountains in a more intimate and peaceful dimension than on the ski slopes. Walking in the fresh snow, enveloped in the silence of the forests and pristine slopes with the Dolomite peaks as a backdrop, is a blessing for body and mind!

Snowshoes are tools that you attach to the base of your boots to allow you to walk nimbly on the snow. They are suitable for everyone, even children, and do not require special physical abilities. If anything, the difficulty may come from the length and elevation gain of the route, but there are snowshoe hikes of all types and levels in the Dolomites.
Snowshoeing can be a great alternative to skiing and the perfect activity for discovering hidden nooks and crannies among the majestic peaks of the Dolomites. You can go for day walks but also snowshoeing at night or hiking at sunset with the possibility to stop at a mountain lodge to enjoy a good mountain dish!
Among the best locations for snowshoeing in the Veneto region is undoubtedly Cortina d’Ampezzo, a landmark for those who want to discover the beauty of the Belluno Dolomites. From Cortina you can set off on some of the most famous snowshoe routes, such as the one to Lake Misurina and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
You can also walk the Great War trails, starting from Col Gallina locality. Not to be missed is the Cinque Torri trail, a great classic in the Dolomites, which leads to an authentic viewing terrace of rocky spires.
The municipalities of Andalo, Molveno, and Fai della Paganella are the starting points of many snowshoe hikes in the Brenta Dolomites. A snowshoe hike is the best way to delve into the trails of the Paganella mountain range and discover the most striking views of the Trentino Dolomites.
This region is a true paradise for snowshoe hikers , who can choose from the Val di Fassa, Val Badia, Val Pusteria, Val Gardena, and Alpe Cimbra, among other locations. There are routes for all tastes, from easy and scenic ones to challenging hikes to high altitude lodges.
Snowshoeing with an Alpine Guide varies in price depending on location, duration and any extra included services. To get an idea: a scenic snowshoe hike in Paganella costs €25 per person, and it goes up to €65 per person for an overnight snowshoe hike in Val di Fassa with dinner at the lodge. Snowshoes and sticks are always included in the price.
For upcoming anniversaries, choose to gift outdoor experiences and make your loved ones happy with an activity to enjoy together for unforgettable moments. A snowshoe hike with friends can be a wonderful gift idea, perhaps paired with a dinner or aperitif at a mountain lodge so you don’t have to miss anything at all!

It was a wonderful experience, quite simple and suitable for people like us who are not regular visitors to the mountains in winter. The guide explained various notions about the flora and fauna around us in a very interesting and engaging way. I highly recommend this activity.
