WHY THIS HIKE

New Year's Eve at Rifugio Vodala

New Year at the hut, on foot or by snowcat.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

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.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, an AMI Bike instructor and a CAI guide. Walking and cycling aren't just sport for me, they're a way of living: I love nature, the right kind of effort and the freedom that ridges and trails hand you. I like being among people, listening, sharing experiences and building a group — because every tour is far more than a route, it's an adventure to live together. I've travelled in Nepal, India, Norway, England, Spain, Albania, Morocco and all over Italy, and every trip taught me something new about myself and about the world. Whether it's a panoramic loop on the mountains at home or a multi-day tour abroad, I like planning every detail and bringing together sport, nature and fun. 🚵 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

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! ❤️🥂🏔️
