Your little Winter Wonder in the Dolomites: Snowshoe & Winter Hikes

Either on your own or together with a guide. When snowshoeing, you can trudge through the winter landscape for hours on end, have snowball fights en route or simply stop for a moment to take in the majestic mountain scenery and enjoy the snow-covered alpine meadows and forest paths. Our AMA Stay in San Vigilio is the ideal starting point for your own little winter wonder. We would be happy to advise you on your choice of winter tour through our protected nature parks in the heart of the Dolomites.

Winter hiking and snowshoeing in the Dolomites, especially in San Vigilio, offer an unparalleled experience. The charm of the Dolomites in winter is a true paradise for lovers of the cold season. Here, amidst the impressive mountain landscape, you will find numerous paths perfect for winter hikes and snowshoe walks. Whether you are walking through snow-covered forests, over frozen streams, or admiring the peaks of the Dolomites in their majestic winter beauty, the experience is unique.

In winter, the 'onion rule' is even more important, in particular:

  • technical thermal underwear and technical socks
  • technical clothing: turtleneck shirt and sweatshirt, winter hardshell jacket with hood, technical winter trousers
  • avoid ski suits or ski trousers: they keep you too warm (and therefore you risk getting cold) and restrict movement
  • waterproof gloves
  • multi-purpose bandana (can be used as scarf and/or cap) + cap or headband
  • high hiking boots made of Gore-Tex® or other water-proof material

What equipment should you bring?

  • telescopic poles: help you move forward in the snow both up and downhill
  • crampons/ice cleats: useful on icy stretches, also frequent in the absence of snow
  • snowshoes and gaiters: essential if you plan to walk in fresh snow

What to pack in your backpack?

  • thermos flask with hot, sugary drink
  • light but energetic snack: muesli bars, chocolate or dried fruit
  • spare clothing: once the ascent is over, change clothing that is in contact with your skin
  • packed lunch, perhaps a Dolomite version: rye bread, speck and alpine cheese
  • spare gloves
  • footpath app or, even better, classic paper map: in cold weather, your smartphone battery runs out very quickly!
  • rubbish bag: collect everything, even tangerine peels!
