Snowshoe hiking up Corno di Tres with panoramic views

Snowshoe hiking up Corno di Tres with panoramic views - Description

Directions

• Start

  Rifugio Predaia
  
  From the Predaia plateau, you can park at the Predaia mountain lodge. Start walking along the lovely forest road, marked ‘503’, which has a moderate incline and takes you through a wood, until you reach the clearing by the Rodeza Alpine hut (1,570 m a.s.l.).
  Carry straight on along road no. 503, also known as the “Italy Path”, which will take you all the way through the valley in the direction of “Sella di Favogna”. After approximately 2 km, you’ll reach a fork in the road with a sign pointing you in the direction of the summit. From here, you have a 20-minute climb up the woody ridge, with easy zig-zagging taking you all the way to the peak. Despite its modest altitude, this mountain offers stunning 360° views: ranging from the Fassan Dolomites to the Brenta Dolomites, from the Maddalene to the Monti di Vigo.
  You can follow the same route to get back again.
  Alternatively, you can also follow an easy ridge in a north-easterly direction, along path no. 500, allowing you to close your hike in a loop, with some stunning views overlooking the peaks of the Val D’Adige valley. After passing the ‘Corno del Cervo’ (literally, “deer's horn”), you’ll reach the pass at the base of Roccia Larga: from here, you head downwards to the left and then pick up path no. 526 which will take you back to the Rodeza Alpine hut.

From Coredo in the Val di Non valley, you can reach the nearby village of Smarano and from there, climb further following the directions for ‘7 Larici’.
