WHY THIS HIKE

Alpe Devero and Crampiolo

An unforgettable excursion into the enchantment of Alpe Devero, where snowy landscapes and enchanted woods blend into a magical atmosphere. Starting from the Devero car park, we will reach the picturesque village of Crampiolo, enveloped in the tranquility of winter, walking through expanses of fresh snow and breathtaking views. We will stop at the characteristic Lago delle Streghe (Witches' Lake) until we reach the Codelago Dam, where we can experience walking on the frozen lake. Along the way, we will discover hidden corners, spectacular views, and the unique charm of an authentic mountain, before stopping to enjoy lunch together in an inn in the village. Perfect for lovers of nature and winter beauty! There will be countless stops to take photographs! The path presents no difficulty, as it takes place on the winter path in the woods that is beaten, so it is only necessary to wear high waterproof boots. It is mandatory to have crampons with you in case of icy stretches.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Martina, a Guiddy coordinator — though everyone calls me Lamartucci, yes, exactly that. I'm a biologist and naturalist in love with nature in all its forms: a biologist by training, an explorer by passion. I like sharing it, telling it and letting the people walking with me live it, step by step. My favourite outings? The panoramic, good and long ones, where you eat up the kilometres among smiles, breathtaking landscapes and that contagious joy only a day in nature can give you. Walking with me means enjoying the day, eating well, laughing a lot and going home with your batteries full of endorphins. And along the way there are plenty of little nature briefings on flora, fauna and the views around us. Backpack ready? Mine is. 🌞 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
