WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Timogno in winter

The Vodala classic, in its daytime version.

Group chat a couple of days before

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Boario Spiazzi area, above Gromo, and climb the snowy pistes on packed snow with simple micro-spikes: safe ground, ideal for anyone easing into winter walking. The climb alternates gentle sections with slightly steeper ones, always manageable, and offers fine views over the Orobie from the very start. At the summit of Monte Timogno the view opens out, and on the way back there is Rifugio Vodala.

5 reasons to come - the summit of Monte Timogno in winter - Rifugio Vodala on the way home - the snowy Orobie as far as you can see - a gradual climb, perfect for a first winter outing - full light and open views all day

Who it suits We walk on packed snow with micro-spikes: fine even if this is your first winter outing.

Winter in the Val Seriana, without complications: come with the Guidders.

920 m D+ · 8 km · 6 h

Easy

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.

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.

Outing on 22 February 2026

Cima Timogno e Rifugio Vodala 🏔️🥾❄️ Una bella giornata in montagna, con un gruppo fantastico e un percorso davvero tosto e impegnativo. La neve fresca ha reso la salita ancora più difficile: in diversi punti si sprofondava parecchio e la progressione non è stata affatto semplice. Peccato non aver avuto le ciaspole, che in queste condizioni sarebbero state sicuramente molto utili, ma soltanto i ramponcini. Nonostante la fatica e le difficoltà, arrivare alla Cima Timogno è stata una grande soddisfazione. Una giornata impegnativa, ma sicuramente da ricordare, soprattutto per la compagnia e per i bellissimi paesaggi innevati. ❄️🏔️💪

Altro bellissimo percorso da fare in invernale. Parte tranquillo e gradualmente inizia il dislivello con la salita finale dove la fatica si fará sentire. Giornata splendida con paesaggi straordinari, compresa la vista su una cresta affilata bellissima dalla cima del Timogno.
