WHY THIS HIKE

Snowshoeing to Alpe Campagneda

The Bernina in front of you, and snow underfoot.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Lanzada on a great winter classic of the Valmalenco: the Alpe Campagneda. The route runs through wide, bright country, between thin woodland, snowy flats and constant views of the Bernina group, which forms the backdrop for almost the whole way. We pass the Campagneda tarns under snow and reach the pasture with Rifugio Ca' Runcash. The climb is gradual and never technical.

5 reasons to come - the Bernina group as the backdrop to the whole day - the frozen Campagneda tarns - Rifugio Ca' Runcash on arrival - wide, bright flats, perfect for photographs - a gradual climb, never technical

Who it suits A gradual snowshoe climb: fine even if winter walking is new to you.

A winter classic of the Valmalenco: 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
