WHY THIS HIKE

Snowshoeing on Monte Olano

A natural terrace over the lower Valtellina, on snowshoes.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Rasura and climb towards Monte Olano by way of Rifugio della Corte. The route alternates silent woodland and open clearings, with a gradual climb that offers ever-wider glimpses. At the top the horizon opens all around: Morbegno and Talamona below, the Costiera dei Cech, the Rhaetian Alps, the elegant profile of Monte Disgrazia, the Val Tartano and the Bitto valleys. In winter the snow-covered woods make everything quieter still.

5 reasons to come - the panoramic terrace of Monte Olano - Monte Disgrazia and the Costiera dei Cech opposite - Rifugio della Corte along the climb - snow-covered woodland, silent as only winter can be - a summit within reach even on snowshoes

Who it suits A gradual climb with nothing technical: fine even if it is your first time on snowshoes.

A balcony over the Valtellina, under snow: 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
