Snowshoeing - Refuge Tour in Maddalene

Yesterday we finally found a sunny day. Snowshoeing fantastic, although the location was not very long and the snow, especially in the afternoon, it was running.

March 19 - Refuge Tour (Mary Magdalene)

Group Stavola not particularly large, we were at 9, ready for anything. We let the machines Matzlaun (alt. 1466 m), a group of farms north of Proves, but in Val di Non in Alto Adige!

Above the car park at the start

Almost the entire route was developed between the pastures covered with snow, even if it is not within a few laps of sparse pine forests. All of silence, light and snow.

Some ascents in the woods

Mountains, in particular Mount Corniculum (q. 2308 m) surrounding the landscape. Snow is definitely a lot (over 1 m) and, on the northern slopes, it will remain for a long time.

Mount Corniculum above us

After a first stop in the Hills of Revò (alt. 1734 m) we continued the climb to get to the edge of the woods and cut at a height, reach Malghetto to q. 1894 m, where we had lunch and spent most of the afternoon sun.

The Malghetto at which we stopped

During the descent, reached the hut of oilseed rape (1,732 m Q), we made a stop to test the transceiver, shovel and probe. So we repulsed headlong downhill, in the middle of a wet, heavy snow, which sank at every step.

February 12 - Col Santo (Pasubio)

This was the first trip of the winter program of the Section. Fantastic day, with a beautiful sun that has warmed, especially during the lunch break. Large group that arrived at Alpe Alba, has been divided into two groups: one was up to the summit, the other went directly to the shelter Lancia. Anyway, we all met here together to descend until Giazzera.

March 12 - With the Executioner (Cima d'Asta)

This is an excursion that we recovered. Unfortunately, this time the weather was not the best. Already the wind was very strong on Saturday, then Sunday during the morning, it was also covered with clouds and half of the excursion we ended up in the middle of a small snowstorm. Nothing bad, just so cold and the need to go back, just before arriving Fork Cavallara Case possible avalanche danger. There will be better next time.

But why go home already in the early afternoon? We have therefore opted for a lunch at the restaurant on the larch Celado. Was shortly before we had to make us even eat, because the absence of the cook. Anyway, we settled for polenta, grilled cheese and sausage, all watered wine. After the owner, to apologize for the inconvenience gave us the bitter.
