WHY THIS HIKE

Snowshoeing at Piani di Artavaggio

A plateau that turns unreal under snow.

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

The experience

The Piani di Artavaggio are one of the most captivating winter plateaus in the Valsassina: a wide open space that, under snow, becomes soft, silent and almost unreal. With the Guidders we walk a loop designed to be pleasant and accessible, ideal for taking the winter mountains without hurry, enjoying every step between white clearings and open views.

5 reasons to come - the Piani di Artavaggio under snow - an accessible loop, designed to be savoured - white clearings and wide open spaces - views over the Valsassina mountains - the silence only snow can give

Who it suits A pleasant, accessible loop: fine even without winter experience.

Winter without hurry: come and live it with the Guidders.

IN YOUR BACKPACK
Snowshoes and poles (rent them if you don't have them), waterproof boots, gaiters, gloves plus a spare pair, a beanie, sunglasses, a hot thermos and a snack. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
