Snowshoes<\/strong> were probably invented in Canada, in times very distant, perhaps as early as 6000 BC. Since then they were used by the inhabitants of the Arctic areas to move, by the peoples of the Asian mountains to hunt and by woodsmen of the Alps collecting firewood.<\/p>\n

Now snowshoes, which are no longer made of wood but of metal and plastic, are a greener alternative<\/strong> to other winter activities such as skiing. Winter hiking with snowshoes allow you to discover the whitewashed nature in the most authentic way: walking in the woods surrounded by snow-covered trees, by a fairy tale landscape<\/strong> and the silence of the winter<\/strong> is an experience that you must do at least once in your life.<\/p>\n

In addition, it\u2019s easy to learn and suitable for everyone; even the less athletic, children and the elderly will be able to fully enjoy the mountain<\/strong> with wonderful walks.<\/p>\n

Discover the 3 itineraries<\/strong> that we have selected for you!<\/p>\n

1 The views of the Odle di Funes (South Tyrol)<\/h2>\n

We are in South Tyrol, in one of the most uncontaminated<\/strong> areas. The itinerary starts from Malga Zannes, at 1686m above sea level, along a wide forest track. The first part of the route is suitable for all, the signs are clear and the climbing is not too steep. We enter the woods<\/strong> until reaching the pastures of Malga Gampen, we are at 2062 meters above sea level. We suggest only to those who have some experience in the mountains to proceed. Leaving the pasture on the left we head to the Genvoa Refuge, located in the middle of the slope. We are already at 2340 meters above sea level and there\u2019s only the last stretch to reach the pass of Poma; from here the views over the entire chain of Geisler Funes<\/strong> are truly breathtaking.
\nWhere to stay<\/strong>: At the foot of the Dolomites Odle, which are UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>, on the edge of an idyllic forest there are eco-friendly luminous apartments,<\/a> furnished with wooden furniture.
\nFun Fact<\/strong>: Peter, the landlord, is, among other things, a ski instructor and guide for excursions and he can recommend other rides and, upon request, accompany you.<\/p>\n
