DOLOMITES- Snowshoe hike Popena Valley from Carbonin

The starting point is the Popena bridge on the access road to Lake Misurina. The trail first follows the Rio Popena gently uphill.

Further up, the valley opens up, offering stunning views of the Cristallino di Misurina and Monte Popena. At around 2000 m, the forest begins to thin out and the terrain becomes more open.
