Starting at Lago d’Antorno (1866 m), the snowshoe hike leads up to the vast plateau of Monte Piana (2324 m). This imposing Dolomite mountain was once the scene of fierce fighting during the First World War. Today, it offers tranquillity, wide-open spaces and one of the most impressive 360° panoramas in the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites. From the Drei Zinnen and Paternkofel to the Cadini Group, Sorapis, Monte Cristallo and Hohe Gaisl – an unforgettable view. Packed lunch required.
