The experience
You'll set off in the morning towards the summit of Monte Cazzola (2330 m), at an easy pace, no rush. The reward awaits at the top. In front of you, the Helsenhorn rises, massive yet graceful. To the north, Alpe Devero with Cervandone standing guard, to the south and west the val Divedro and the ridge dividing Devero from Alpe Veglia. 360 degrees of real mountain.
Why join us: - An easy route, perfect even for first-time snowshoers - 360° views over some of the most stunning Alpine peaks - A group experience, zero stress, just snow and nature - Coming down with that feeling of having done something real
Join the Guidders and live this mountain day the way only the Guiddy community can make it happen.
