Set off at dusk, with snowshoes on your feet, and enjoy a nice hike on a beaten path, immersed in nature. Arrive at Rifugio Potzmauer under the moonlight and taste typical dishes accompanied by the best local wines.
The path through fir, spruce, and Scots pine woods leads to Rifugio Potzmauer, a refuge nestled in a basin of meadows surrounded by fir forests. It is a stop both for eating and overnight stays and also an intermediate point for possible longer hikes to interesting places such as the peatlands of Lac del Vedes or Lake Valda or towards Lake Santo.

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