2.Milky Way: night snowshoe hike with a typical dinner in a mountain hut

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 3h 30m · from $117Top rated

Set out from Bousson with a small group of up to eight, using supplied snowshoes, poles, and headlamps. An English, Italian, or French-speaking guide leads you through the Thures Valley at sunset, sharing local tales before dinner at Rifugio Combe d’Imbert Vittoria. Sergio has guided recent outings, and Mauro welcomes you at the hut.

“Abbiamo trascorso davvero un’esperienza unica. Nonostante per noi fosse la prima ciaspolata, la nostra guida ha saputo spiegarci i fondamentali della disciplina e ci ha accompagnato lungo un percorso da fiaba. Più salivamo e più il sole calava all’orizzonte, arrivando alla baita per cenare quando oramai era già completamente buio e il nostro sentiero era illuminato solo dalla luce della luna e delle stelle. Esperienza estremamente immersiva e avvincente.”
