Trail n. 11 Vallesinella - Sentiero dell'Arciduca - snowshoeing itinerary - Description

Medium difficulty route starting from Madonna di Campiglio and passing through the splendid Vallesinella and leading to the beautiful Cascate di Mezzo, in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites.
Excursion without significant change in altitude which takes place entirely on a snow-covered path, crossing a wood of distincitive natural value owing to certain sections made up entirely of beech trees.
The itinerary runs through Vallesinella, and leads to the splendid Cascate di Mezzo, which in winter form a fascinating frozen wall, the venue for exciting ice climbing.
Looking up you can admire all the Dolomite spires, which soar defiantly towards the sky
