WHY THIS HIKE

Night hike to Rifugio Vodala

When the pistes empty out, the good part begins.

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

The experience

Evenings at Rifugio Vodala are a Guiddy winter classic: when the sun sets and the Boario Spiazzi pistes empty, the mountain slows down, the silence grows and the snow catches the evening light. We climb with the Guidders after sunset, walking on packed snow with simple micro-spikes, along a safe, straightforward route. The climb is pleasant, with a few firmer sections that warm your legs and make the arrival even better: dinner is waiting at the hut.

5 reasons to come - dinner at Rifugio Vodala, a Guiddy winter classic - the climb after sunset, with snow catching the light - a safe, straightforward route with no difficulties - the silence of the pistes once they empty - the return by night, head torches on

Who it suits We walk on packed snow with micro-spikes: fine even without winter experience.

Snow, stars and good company: come with the Guidders.
