WHY THIS HIKE

Snowshoeing on Pian delle Betulle

A snow loop where every bend gives you a new wow.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Pian delle Betulle and head for Cima del Laghetto and then the Cimone di Margno, tracing a hugely panoramic loop between silent woods and snowy plateaus. The route alternates gentle climbs with wide open stretches, the silence of snow as your travelling companion. Halfway through we stop at a hut for lunch, in the warmth, before closing the circuit.

5 reasons to come - the Pian delle Betulle plateau under snow - Cima del Laghetto and the Cimone di Margno - lunch at the hut halfway through - a panoramic loop with a new view at every turn - gentle climbs, perfect for enjoying the snow

Who it suits A snowshoe outing with gentle climbs and open ground: fine with little winter experience.

Winter without rushing, step by step: come 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

Baita delle Betulle e Cima del Laghetto 🏔️❄️ Questo trekking doveva essere una ciaspolata, ma purtroppo le condizioni meteo e la poca neve non lo hanno permesso. Peccato, ma non è certo colpa di nessuno: la montagna e il meteo fanno sempre la loro parte. Per fortuna la guida è riuscita comunque a rendere la giornata piacevole, proponendoci un trekking leggermente impegnativo, ma alla portata di tutti e ben organizzato. A completare la giornata, un bel pranzo finale in rifugio. 🍽️🏔️ Un percorso che consiglio a chi vuole fare un trekking sulla neve senza affrontare dislivelli eccessivi e senza troppi sbattimenti, godendosi comunque una bella giornata in montagna. ❄️🥾
