WHY THIS HIKE

Night snowshoeing on Monte Pora

Snowshoes in the dark, and dinner waiting at the hut.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Castione and climb through woodland and piste along the soft ridge of Monte Pora: a simple, hugely panoramic route, perfect for enjoying snowshoeing without any difficulty. Before sitting down to eat there is a surprise: we climb to Monte Alto, one of the finest balconies in the area, with the evening lights below. Then down to Rifugio Magnolini for a mountain dinner, and back by head torch.

5 reasons to come - dinner at Rifugio Magnolini - the climb to Monte Alto before dinner - the soft ridge of Monte Pora, easy and panoramic - the return in the dark, head torches lit - a route that works even for a first snowshoe outing

Who it suits A simple route on packed snow: fine for first-time snowshoers.

A winter evening done properly: come with the Guidders.

VERTIGO RISK
WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Dress in layers and set off in daylight: on snow you sweat going up and freeze at the stops. If you've never snowshoed, no experience needed, just legs for a long walk and an easy pace
✓
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
