Sunset snowshoeing to the Colbricon lakes

The excursion to the Colbricon Lakes is a winter experience that seems straight out of a story. In winter, the landscape transforms into a fairytale forest: fir and larch trees laden with snow, muffled silence, and footsteps crunching on the snow cover. Here, the mountain slows down time and invites you to walk calmly, breathing clean air and letting yourself be guided by your senses.

The experience

The route, generally snow-covered, winds through the woods with panoramic stops chosen according to snow conditions and the group, to ensure a calm and accessible pace. Gradually ascending, the trees thin out and the view opens onto the natural basin of the lakes, set at the foot of the majestic Pale di San Martino, which at sunset are tinged with warm and intense colors.

When the sun begins to descend towards the horizon, we treat ourselves to a special break: a sunset toast with parampampoli, the quintessential Trentino ritual. A convivial moment that warms the hands and immediately creates a group spirit, perfectly in the Guiddy style: we walk together, we laugh together, we experience the mountain together.

The experience then continues with an aperitif in a mountain hut, among simple and genuine flavors, chats and smiles, in a warm and welcoming environment that smells of true mountain life.

The return journey takes place along the outward route or on a variant, crossing the snowy forest again, accompanied by the last lights of the day. A soft and suggestive finale, perfect for those who want to experience winter in the mountains without haste, in the company of the Guidders.
