WHY THIS HIKE
Schilpario Snowshoe
A snowshoe hike in Val di Scalve, with snow, forests and big mountain views, under the walls of Concarena. From Fondi di Schilpario to Rifugio Cimon della Bagozza, this is winter at its best: slow steps, silence, changing light and a well-earned hot tea at the end.

The experience
We start in the morning from Fondi, in the Schilpario area, and ease into the valley’s snowy landscape. The route is generally comfortable and the pace is relaxed: about 250 meters of elevation gain, ideal even if it’s your first time on snowshoes. We walk through forests and wide mountain scenery, with the unmistakable shape of Cimon della Bagozza leading the view, all the way to the refuge at around 1,570 meters.
Why join us - Real winter atmosphere - Easy pace, big views - Warm refuge stop - Great for first-timers
Come experience it with the Guidders and bring your winter energy to the group.

Easy — this outing
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
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.
