The bucolic landscape at the endpoint of this snowshoe hike is a fitting crown to the itinerary.
Castelir is a famous ski resort in the Alpe Lusia - Bellamonte area. Although there are many skiers at the starting point, after a few minutes of walking you enter a silent environment. The route passes through a bright forest of fir and larch trees. In the final part, the vegetation gives way to the wonderful views of the Pale di San Martino and the Lagorai Chain. The route is usually marked and also used by ski mountaineers.

Safety guidelines

The route is not very demanding, and there is no avalanche danger.

THE 10 RULES FOR HIKERS

  1. Study and prepare your itinerary well
  2. Choose a route suitable for your physical condition
  3. Bring appropriate clothing and equipment
  4. Check the weather forecast
  5. Going alone is risky; bring your mobile phone
  6. Leave information about your itinerary and approximate return time
  7. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to rely on a professional
  8. Pay attention to the signs and markings you find on the route
  9. In case of fatigue or problems, do not hesitate to turn back
  10. In case of accidents, call 112

The stability of the snow cover is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Always consult the avalanche bulletin and get well-informed about current conditions from the alpine guides in the area. The GPX tracks are merely indicative of the generally most sensible route but cannot be blindly followed without a preliminary assessment of the slopes at that precise moment. On this route, some orientation problems may arise in the upper part in case of fog or low clouds.

Starting point
Castelir - Bellamonte
Directions

ASCENT Take the forest road behind the El Zirmo hut, which steadily climbs from the Castelir locality to Malga Canvere. You move further away from the slopes, passing through a sparse forest with typical alpine huts. The gradient is constant but never particularly steep. Upon reaching Malga Canvere, the forest thins out and the few stone pines enhance the view of the imposing Pale di San Martino and the Lagorai Chain. The hut is not managed.

For those who still have time and energy, we recommend extending the route to Malga Bocche. From Canvere, continue to the right on the evident snow-covered forest road until you reach the hut (closed in winter) located on a panoramic small hill. The one-way trip is 3.4 km (1:15 hours).

DESCENT Along the outward route
