The experience
At Rifugio Vodala New Year's Eve turns into pure magic: packed snow, lights down in the valley and a night walk that smells of winter. We set off with the Guidders as evening falls: those who like walking climb the snowy piste on micro-spikes, wrapped in silence; those who prefer to enjoy the view ride up comfortably by snowcat, already included in the price. Whatever your style, the evening ends the same way: everyone at the same table.
5 reasons to come - New Year's Eve at Rifugio Vodala - the snowcat ride up, included in the price - the night walk on packed snow, for those who prefer it - the valley lights seen from above - an evening that starts the year properly
Who it suits You can climb on foot with micro-spikes or ride the snowcat: it works for everyone, either way.
Start the year up high: come with the Guidders.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus — this outing
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Uno dei Capodanni più belli della mia vita! 🎆🏔️
Un Capodanno davvero alternativo, iniziato con un bellissimo trekking notturno in salita fino al Rifugio Vodala. Una volta arrivati, ci aspettava il cenone di Capodanno, tra buon cibo, musica, balli e tantissimo divertimento. Abbiamo mangiato, ballato e ci siamo scatenati come pazzi fino a festeggiare l’arrivo del nuovo anno! 🥳🍾🎶
E come se non bastasse, la serata si è conclusa con la discesa nuovamente in notturna.
Un’esperienza davvero unica, fatta di montagna, emozioni e tanto divertimento. Un Capodanno che difficilmente dimenticherò! ❤️🥂🏔️
