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!

17 Mar 2026 | Snowshoeing at the gateway to the Stelvio National Park in Livigno
They told me well about it and they were right!
Matteo was an excellent guide! He gave us a relaxing snowshoe hike, also suitable for beginners, and in the slightly more technical parts he guided us, without rushing us. His knowledge of the local fauna and flora allowed us to appreciate the area, for example by explaining why animals are located on one side of a mountain rather than another. An experience definitely worthwhile!

A good experience
Well organised snowshoe hike with excellent guidance from Simone. Nice group and wonderful scenery of the snow-covered Piani di Artavaggio, despite the day with little sun. Everything went according to the description of the experience, the guide even contacted me by whatsapp for details. Snowshoes ready on our arrival by cable car, an evocative route within everyone's reach. The view from the Nicola hut is very beautiful. I spent a nice morning, met nice people, I'm very satisfied!
