Snowshoeing in Val di Sole
Exploring winter has never been so fascinating! Try our fantastic snowshoe excursions accompanied by the guides of Ursus Adventures.
An immersion in the snowy environment to discover the most fascinating corners of the Val di Sole in Trentino. A gentle, slow, emotionally intense activity. You will appreciate details that many people miss: the passage of the hare on the snow, the bed of a deer, the pine cones eaten by the squirrels.
You will learn very interesting notions about the area around you, the flora and fauna. Everything seems to stand still in winter but in reality life goes on, you just need to have the eyes to see it and the sensitivity to perceive it.
How does the activity take place? We start by delivering the material and technically explaining its use. The guides will introduce you to the world of walking with snowshoes, explaining how to walk with this piece of equipment that seems a bit cumbersome at first but will become functional and necessary as you continue walking.
After a short test in a very simple stretch, the adventure begins to discover the secrets of the snowy forest.
Where will we go? We don’t know yet, it depends on many factors: road conditions, weather conditions, snow cover, etc. We will surely select for you the most suitable location for you to go on a snowshoe hike in safety with your utmost appreciation. We can go to Val di Peio or Val di Rabbi in the Stelvio National Park or towards the peat bogs of the Campo Carlo Magno pass near Madonna di Campiglio. In the event of a lot of snow, we could also decide to stay a little lower, in the woods near Mezzana, Ossana or Dimaro Folgarida.
Unlike typical excursions with large groups, our snowshoe tours are limited to a maximum of 8 people. This allows you to enjoy a more intimate, safe and meaningful experience, where every detail of the snowy landscape becomes part of your journey.
You will walk off the beaten paths, exploring silent forests, snow-covered clearings and hidden corners of Val di Sole that only our guides truly know. You’ll be able to spot animal tracks, learn how to read the winter forest and discover fascinating details about the local wildlife, flora and territory.
A premium, worry-free experience. The meeting point is at the Ursus Adventures base in Ossana. From there, the included transport will take you to the start of the excursion, ensuring maximum comfort and zero logistical stress. Before setting off, we will provide snowshoes and poles and show you how to use them, so you can move naturally and easily even if it’s your first time.
The destination is chosen each time according to the best snow and weather conditions, to offer you the most scenic and safest snowshoeing experience. Our favourite locations include:
Val di Peio and Val di Rabbi – Stelvio National Park
Madonna di Campiglio
Passo del Tonale
Mezzana, Marilleva and Dimaro Folgarida
