🤩 What are we doing?

A panoramic hike among the snow-capped peaks of Val di Fassa to the Gardeccia Refuge, in the heart of Catinaccio. The route, immersed in uncontaminated nature, offers breathtaking views of the Torri del Vajolet and Larsech. After a pleasant walk in the snow, arriving at the refuge offers the opportunity to taste typical Trentino dishes in a warm and welcoming environment. For those looking for a touch of adrenaline, the return can turn into an exciting sled ride along the beaten path.

🏔 Curiosities of the place

The Gardeccia Refuge is a historic Alpine destination, frequented by hikers and mountaineers since the 19th century. In winter, the surrounding landscape transforms into a magical fairytale setting, with the Catinaccio turning pink at sunset, a phenomenon known as enrosadira.

🎯 Practical advice

Wear waterproof boots and warm layered clothing. If you want to try sledding, check rental availability in advance or bring one with you. Bring sunglasses and sunscreen: the light reflected on the snow can be intense. Book lunch at the refuge in advance during busy periods!
