The Valmalenco is a side valley of the Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio. Surrounded by the highest peaks of the Rhaetian Alps and from the Bernina Massif, this valley is a true paradise for lovers of winter activities and for those seeking the peace and silence that only snow can provide. Snowshoeing in Valmalenco allow you to take refuge in a quiet and muffled dimension, where the sharp contours of the mountains and the roar of footsteps in the fresh snow reign supreme.

Valmalenco: the best routes to snowshoe on

The main towns of Valmalenco, Lanzada and Chiesa in Valmalenco, are ideal starting points for snowshoeing. Among the most popular routes suitable for everyone is the one leading to Lake Palù. You can then reach the many refuges in Valmalenco, such as the Zoia Lodge, or walk the 3 Lodges Tour of Pizzo Scalino.

Among the options for snowshoeing in Lombardy, Valmalenco is certainly a destination to consider, especially for those who like to get off the beaten track and discover places with authentic charm. Snowshoeing is an activity for everyone, also suitable for families with children to experience fantastic carefree moments in the snow!

Snowshoe hikes to Lake Palü and Zoia Lodge

Lake Palù in Valmalenco is one of the most famous alpine lakes in Lombardy. Reaching it by snowshoeing is an exciting adventure that provides fabulous winter views. Starting from Chiesa in Valmalenco or other locations in the valley, there are several routes to get there. The easiest to do even on snowshoes is the Lake Palù loop, which starts from the hamlet of San Giuseppe.

Among the best snowshoeing in Valmalenco is the hike from Lanzada to the Zoia Lodge. Again, this is a loop trail with little elevation gain, so it is suitable for everyone. The route can also be walked with an Alpine Guide at sunset or by snowshoeing at night. By moonlight, the experience will be even more atmospheric.

Organized snowshoe hikes: how much do they cost in Valmalenco?

On average, you do not spend much to go snowshoeing, considering that the cost of snowshoe and stick rental is around 10€ per person. This is different if you want to go on an organized snowshoeing hike led by a mountain guide (a recommended choice in order to remain safe at all times). To get an idea, a night or sunset snowshoe hike in Valmalenco at the Zoia Lodge costs €35 per person, including equipment.

Crazy experience, Thank you Norbert!

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!

Magic

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.

Unforgettable Experience

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.

Mind-clearing day

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.
