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!
The possibilities for snowshoeing in Lombardy are many. The closest locations to Milan, also suitable for a day trip, are the Bobbio and Artavaggio plans in the province of Lecco.
The Valtellina and adjacent valleys, are rich in picturesque routes. Snowshoes are the ideal means of crossing the pristine trails of Valmalenco, Val Masino and Val di Mello, all in the province of Sondrio.
In Alta Valtellina, snowshoeing is available in Livigno and Bormio, and high-mountain lovers can set off for more challenging hikes on the Bernina massif, the highest mountain in Lombardy on the Swiss border.
In the Bergamo area, the landscapes of the Orobian Alps are ready to amaze hikers on the routes of the Brembana Valley. While in the province of Brescia, there is one of the most popular locations in Lombardy for snowshoeing and beyond. It is Ponte di Legno, in the Camonica Valley.
Prices for a snowshoeing hike with an Alpine Guide in Lombardy vary by duration and location. For example, a snowshoeing hike in Valmalenco costs 35 euros per person, including snowshoes and sticks.
Of course, it is also possible to snowshoe on your own, but it is good to do so only if you have an excellent knowledge of the terrain and conditions. The best way to get out in the snow is always to be accompanied by a guide…because you can never be too careful!
For upcoming Christmas, birthday and other activities, have friends and family discover the beauty of winter hiking in Lombardy by gifting a snowshoeing hike.

16 Dec 2024 | Snowshoeing in Valmalenco with dinner at the refuge and return under the stars
It was a fantastic experience. Seeing the sunset with Pizzo Scalino behind us and walking in the snow in the dark under the stars with a full moon was wonderful. What about dinner at the agriturismo Il Cornetto: we enjoyed some fantastic pizzoccheri. Thanks to our guide Gionata and the company of his Shadow.

Highly recommended snowshoe hike with breathtaking views, made even more impressive by the colours of the sunset. Excellent dinner at the 'Il Cornetto' refuge and return under the stars. Not a difficult route but not to be underestimated. Norbert is a very friendly and helpful guide, providing us with information right from the start about the state of the roads and the weather conditions. During the snowshoe hike he kept a suitable pace for everyone and was very attentive to the whole group. An experience to be repeated, Thank you Norbert!

Relaxing and rejuvenating day. Excellent organisation and fantastic energy. The guide (Gionata) always one step ahead. He got involved and created an ideal atmosphere for the day. I would recommend it to everyone, even those who are not trained. Everyone at their own pace, no one was left behind.

Beautiful experience surrounded by nature with exciting landscapes and colours. Ivan is an expert guide, he led us energetically all the way back to the hut via an off-piste in the middle of a small forest with only the light of the moon. Really fun.
