    The route passes through an interesting natural setting: with a little luck it is possible to encounter deer, chamois, hares, squirrels and other wild animals!

    The trail is quite long and demanding (about 2.5 h), so it is advisable to bring along something to eat and drink.

    To rent the necessary equipment, contact either the Ski School in Campo Blenio or the Sarci-Sport store in Olivone.

    The Swiss Ski School Blenio provides guides who can accompany less experienced snowshoers on marked trails or other personalized routes (minimum of 10 participants).
