Snowshoeing in Lombardy: the magic of winter without using skis
Snowshoes are a type of winter footwear; they attach to hiking boots and allow you to walk easily on fresh snow. They can be a good alternative to skiing and allow even those who cannot ski to do snow activities and explore magnificent mountain locations.
Snowshoeing in the snow is an activity that truly enables you to connect with the peace and beauty of nature, to be experienced in total tranquility and with full respect for the environment. Walking on snowy trails in the middle of the woods, with the silence of the mountains broken only by footsteps sinking into the snow, is a unique and unparalleled feeling!

01 Feb 2026 | Evening snowshoeing in Valmalenco
All very nice....
Everything very nice. First experience but very positive. Excursion suitable for everyone, even children. We were fortunate to find a beautiful day, almost full moon to illuminate the path without the use of headlamps, Ivan spectacular guide, well prepared and attentive, which in addition to guiding us gave us some notions a bit about everything. We spent a pleasant evening with a very good dinner in a place recommended by the guide. Excursion from 10 for everything. Well done, good organisation

Carefree snowshoeing
We participated in the 'snowshoe hike in Valmalenco with dinner at the refuge and return under the stars' experience. Gionata is an expert guide who knows how to make the most of his love for nature and pass it on to those who participate in the activities he proposes, all in the company of his talented and faithful dog Shadow. It was a moment of collective relaxation and joy, a snowshoe hike in company for a few carefree hours.
