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. This way, you will not only amaze with an original gift, but also provide an opportunity to discover enchanting places and have a fun and carefree experience in the midst of nature.

02 Jan 2024 | Sunset snowshoe hike under Pizzo Scalino
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!

Norbert is an attentive and thorough guide. Ever since he contacted us to send us the initial information for the meeting. He accompanied us with his excellent preparation along a route that was not difficult but certainly not to be underestimated. He kept a pace suitable for everyone and was able to respect those who were slower without making it heavy. The moon accompanied us throughout the entire course. A great experience to try. Thanks to Norbert and Freedom.

We went snowshoeing with Norbert in Valmalenco. It was wonderful to walk amidst the snow. Norbert proved to be an excellent guide: kind, helpful, and eager to share his extensive knowledge of the area and hiking world. He also gave us excellent advice on how to tackle mountain outings! Definitely worth repeating.

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.

Fantastic experience. Snowshoeing in the beauty of the snowy mountains guided by Gionata and Shady was priceless. Great opportunity to make new acquaintances and share new experiences with our fellow adventurers. Gionata super helpful, very nice and ready to deal with any unforeseen event.
