Winter excursions and walks in La Val

An easy winter walk to be tackled with snowshoes. The best starting point is the car park just after the hamlet of Furnacia where following the 'Roda de Armentara' signs will take you up to the Ranch de Anrdé lodge where you continue along a mostly flat stretch through Valgiarëi to Arciara. From here a short paved stretch takes you back to the parking lot.

A route to walk on packed snow trails or tackle with snowshoe along an alternative. You can start from the Hotel La Palsa or from the nearby hamlet of Spëscia. From Spëscia path 15 leads through the woods up to the Armentara meadows and then to the La Val Via Crucis to the sanctuary of La Crusc (Holy Cross). For those who want to tackle the hike on snowshoes we recommend path 15B along the Sas dla Crusc mountain.

Leaving the hamlet of Spëscia, you head up to the Ju de Sant'Antone where the descent takes you to Picio Fanes, where you will find two shelters that are also open during the winter. From here there are numerous slopes and peaks accessible by alpine skis. We especially recommend Monte Cavallo, Col Bechei, Monte Castello (bivouac of peace), and Col Toronn. We recommend adequate preparation before undertaking these ski tours.

Ideal for families with children, you can undertake this walk on the snow starting from our hotel in the centre of La Val, where a short section of paved road leads to the hamlet of Cians. Heading uphill from here you can reach the Forcela da Cians or the Jù de Rit and descend on foot or by sledge.

We advise you get to the Spëscia dessura car park by car and then go up path 16, at the end of which you'll find a sledge run that takes you down to the car park. Or, continuing along the dirt road you can reach the meadows of Rit and keep going to the Forcella de Rit, where if you want you can reach the hamlet of Cians by sledge.
