Discovering the history, beauty and nature of this territory by pedaling in complete safety will be an experience that will stay in your heart. For this purpose we have thought of organizing 3 different tours with different difficulty levels, always accompanied by a guide. Have fun!!
Lessinia in the winter months shows enchanted landscapes and fairytale atmospheres. There is no shortage of alternatives for snow lovers, including walking on marked trails and snowshoeing in the middle of valleys and woods. Check out some trails in this article. And for your safety we offer you our naturalistic environmental guides to experience truly special days!
On the snow yes, but with caution!
There are some fundamental rules to tackle each excursion safely, first of all it is necessary to inquire about the meteorological conditions expected for the day, in this regard the ARPAV publishes bulletins every day, also important are the snow and weather bulletins AINEVA and METEOMONT, which indicate avalanche danger level.
As for clothing and equipment, we must never forget that in the mountains the weather can change suddenly, so it is useful to bring food, a bottle with a hot and sugary drink, always dress in layers, wear suitable boots and check , before departure, the conditions of the equipment.
For the less experienced it is advisable to rely on an alpine or environmental hiking guide.
