Snowshoeing a Valmalenco

The snow-covered Lago Palù, a loop of 3 mountain huts with a view of Pizzo Scalino, the Alpe Musella, and other picture-perfect routes

Even if skiing isn’t your thing, Valmalenco knows how to delight its visitors in winter.

The answer is snowshoeing, and the options are plenty: the must-do, family-friendly loop of Lago Palù, the Giro dei 3 Rifugi (the 3 huts walk) from the Campo Moro dam to Alpe Prabello and the lakes of Campagneda under the watchful gaze of the magnificent Pizzo Scalino, and not forgetting a walk to Alpe Musella from Campo Franscia.

Snowshoeing in Valmalenco weaves you through the sort of winter scenery that you’d otherwise only see in brochures or picture books, for an up-close experience with nature and the mountains when they are at their most peaceful.
