Snowshoeing in the Dolomites

Snowshoeing is walking with better PR — strap on the tennis rackets and the winter Dolomites open up: silent forests, frozen lakes and the pale pink towers above Cortina with the crowds gone home.

The experience

Guided day hikes from Cortina d'Ampezzo or the Alta Badia villages need only ordinary hill fitness, and many finish at a rifugio serving extremely serious hot chocolate. January and February bring the deepest snow. Rent everything locally, but bring your own gaiters.
